See ?mtext and take note of the 'line' argument, which allows you to
specify the margin line upon which to place text labels. The 'at'
argument is used to define where on the axis the labels should be
places.

If you are not already, you will want to use either 'axes = FALSE' or
'xaxt = "n"' in your plot call, so that the default axis labels are not
drawn.
