[BioC] lattice and base-graphics using gridBase

Dear list, 

I'm trying to combine lattice and base-graphics following the example
from Paul Murrell's R Graphics (B.1.2). 

The question I have is how to add the y-axis from the base-graphics to
the lattice plot below?

library(gridBase)
library(lattice)

data <- list(A=matrix(rnorm(8*100, 1, 1), ncol=8), B=matrix(rnorm(8*100,
0, 1), ncol=8), C=matrix(rnorm(8*100, -1, 1), ncol=8))

boxplot.panel <- function(x, y, subscripts, ...){	
	pushViewport(viewport(gp=gpar(fontsize=8)),
               viewport(y=unit(0.95, "npc"), width=0.9,
height=unit(0.95, "npc"), just="top"))
  par(plt=gridPLT(), new=TRUE, ps=8)  
	boxplot(data[[subscripts]], col=rep(2:7, each=2), ylab="", axes=FALSE,
names=NULL, outline=FALSE) 
  popViewport(2)
}

df <- data.frame(y=1:3, x=1:3, Method=LETTERS[1:3])

xyplot(y ~ x | Method, data=df, subscripts=TRUE, xlab="", ylab="",
panel=boxplot.panel, layout=c(1,3))
