Yes. One more high-level approach to this is

  matplot(x, cbind(y1,y2,y3), type = "l",  main = "3 curves ...")
and maybe
  legend(...)

See the respective help() pages.
A bit less highlevel with a bit more flexibility is

 plot(x, ..... xlim=.., ylim=.., type = "n")
 lines(x, y1, ........)
 lines(x, y2, ........)
 lines(x, y3, ........)

and legend() again.

Yet another even higher level approach is to work with 
lattice graphics.
