[R] location of multi-line labels on barplots?

Does the following do the sort of thing you want ?

    midpts <- barplot(1:4)
    axis(1, at=midpts, labels=c("a", "b", "", "d"))
    mtext("one\ntwo", side=1, at=midpts[3], line=2)

(if it does, but you can't see why, please feel free to ask for further
explanation :)
