Not quite.   This controls, if I've understood it correctly, the axis tick marks and such (I also tried the argument "draw=FALSE" in the list above).  

The analogue I have in mind is the simple plot axes control like this

    plot(<...>, axes=FALSE)
    axis(1)

which would only draw the bottom axis, with tick marks and label.  Those arguments, of course, don't work for the lattice graphics, but I did notice a similar control in the panel.aixs() function, but I just don't know how to get to it.
