According to the AP, McCain has won all 20 delegates in Puerto Rico, as well as 9 in American Samoa and 9 in the Marianas Islands this weekend:

Anyone know if the news report matches the delegate reality?
This part was interesting:
In a letter to Luis Fortuno, Puerto Rico's nonvoting congressional delegate and a superdelegate, McCain pledged to support a process that would enable Puerto Ricans to decide if they want to remain a commonwealth, become a state or an independent nation.
"The people of Puerto Rico deserve a process of self-determination and a congressionally defined referendum that gives them a fair and unambiguous choice among status options," McCain wrote. "That is one of the many important things that we will accomplish together."
Seems like Ron Paul would have been all over the self-determination angle for Puerto Ricans....
