I think that this article is right on the spot:
Revell. Size-correction and principal components for interspecific
comparative studies. Evolution (2009) vol. 63 (12) pp. 3258-3268
It also contains a R and Matlab script to perform the analysis.
You should also check:
McCoy et al. Size correction: comparing morphological traits among
populations and environments. Oecologia (2006) vol. 148 (4) pp. 547-554
for a brief discussion about differences in allometry. It also
contains a R code

Dear morphometricians,
I am comparing allometric vectors among eight closely-related fish species.
However, I would like to correct the data to remove phylogenetic effects
(e.g. using standard comparative methods).
Has anyone already done a multivariate comparisons of allometries,
taking phylogeny into account?
If so, could you give me information about your methods?
Could you suggest me some relevant papers about this topic?
Many thanks in advance!
All the best,
Bruno
