I think for small things like this, the best is to post 
diffs (diff -cb  or  diff -ubBw  if the latter works) to this mailing list.

Bigger things could be sent to "R-core@stat.math.ethz.ch"
 (the people who can actually change the sources in Auckland...).

Thanks for your offer to fix this yourself!
Optimally, you'd also send a patch for the help file (man/prcomp.Rd)!
