Could you explain in some more detail what you want? If you want grids
along the sides of the bounding box, that may be possible. Grids going
inside the box (or more generally, anything that would involve hidden
line/surface removal) will be hard. In any case, if you don't need
conditioning, you are better off trying to use rgl, which gives you
proper 3-D rendering.
