See ?par, entry "usr". Either set a new coordinate system and use it, or
convert 1/10 to user coordinates.
In R-devel (2.7.0 to be) this is easier:
text(grconvertX(0.1,"npc"), grconvertY(0.5, "npc"), "some text")
cnvrt.coords() in package TeachingDemos does something similar (although
it doesn't use the standard R names for coordinate systems, and there are
more than 5).
