Hi Shane,
The values in the plot you use as an example are "real" in the sense 
that they are equal to the time values. If you want different intervals, 
then it makes sense to add a separate axis. For example:

data(faithful)
duration = faithful$eruptions
breaks = seq(1.5, 5.5, by=0.5)
duration.cut = cut(duration, breaks, right=FALSE)
duration.freq = table(duration.cut)
cumfreq0 = c(0, cumsum(duration.freq))
plot(breaks,cumfreq0,
  main="Old Faithful Eruptions",
  xlab="Duration minutes",
  ylab="Cumulative eruptions",xaxt="n",type="b")
axis(1,at=2:5)

gives more or less the plot illustrated.
