I don't think you can do this directly, but you can do it using mtext.
For example:
x <- 1:10
y <- rnorm(10)
plot(x,y, axes=F)
box()
at <- pretty(x)
min <- par("usr")[1]
max <- par("usr")[2]
at <- at[ at >= min & at <= max] # pretty extends the range
axis(1, at=at, labels=FALSE)
mtext(at, side=1, at=at, line=3)
