If he/she can somehow manage to get into Canada without being reported for breaching the RO, he/she could stay in Canada for 2 full years (read 730 days without leaving for not even 1 day) and THEN could apply to renew his/her PR card. Of course, if he/she gets into Canada without a valid PR card, odds of getting healthcard, drivers license or a new SIN (if one wasn't gotten previously) is going to be nearly impossible which will make it difficult to survive, however, that is about the only option available. There is no other way to 'renew' the PR other than bringing oneself back into good standing in regards to the RO.

I should note here, that if this person was a minor when removed from Canada, and is just now coming of 'age' then we are talking a different ballgame all together.
