I suspect he wanted the "counts" in the label:

x <-  c(20, 80, 20, 5, 2)
b <- barplot(x, ylim = c(0, 85), las = 1)
text(b, x+2, labels=x, pch = x)

  ... although perhaps his specification by analogy to bwplot with  
panel option "N" was more meaningful to you that it was to me. I have  
no idea what that was supposed to suggest.
