plotCI from plotrix will do horizontal error bars --
from ?plotCI:

  err: The direction of error bars: "x" for horizontal, "y" for
          vertical ("xy" would be nice but is not implemented yet;
          don't know quite how everything would be specified.  See
          examples for composing a plot with simultaneous horizontal
          and vertical error bars)
