I'll do mine with regards to the British Columbia Members of Parliament, which is basically the same thing as a state's House delegation.

Going off of the fact that you'd need 2.78% to get a seat in Parliament in BC, and given that the results in our last election were as follows:

Conservative: 36.3%
Liberal: 28.6%
NDP: 26.5%
Green: 6.3%
Independent: 2.5%

...we get the following breakdown:

Conservative: 13 seats
Liberal: 10 seats
NDP: 10 seats
Green: 2 seats
Independent: 1 seat

I added one seat to the NDP and gave the independent his seat to make the numbers add up to 36, the number of seats we have.  The NDP was the most screwed by roundoff errors and I figured the Independent was close enough.

For viewer's interests, here are the gains or losses that would result if we switched to PR:

Conservative: -9
Liberal: +2
NDP: +5
Green: +2
Independent: ±0
