One could build a small adapter board that holds a modern surface
mounted programmable logic chip (and its boot EEPROM if the chip needs
one). Any chip that features at least 16 inputs and 8 outputs (or e.g.
24 programmable I/O pins) will do the job. But I think that the cost
will be higher than that of a C64 PLA (or a broken C64 that has a
working PLA). The replacement does make sense for rarer machines, such
as the PET product line or the 264 series.
