boxplot(list(m[,1],...,m[,c]))

Is it possible to do something similar to

        boxplot(data.frame(m))

but have different scales for each of the boxplots?

The reason I ask is that I have a series of lake chemistry measurements
and I want to plot a diagram with boxplots for a number of variables.
The variables are measured in different units and some variables are
orders of magnitude bigger than others.  Any help with this would be
appreciated.

Then you should better create a new plot for each of your variables with
different units, e.g.:

  x <- rnorm(10)
  y <- rnorm(10, 100, 10)
  z <- rnorm(10, 1000, 3)
  BL <- list(x, y, z) 	# or data.frame
  par(mfrow = c(1, 3))  # 1 row and 3 columns of plots
  lapply(BL, boxplot)
