This is not correct.
It was correct at the time I wrote it. Of course things have changed
now that you and Dimitris have been so helpful: now I *do* think you
can do it directly.
You can, as Dimitris has already shown. See ?par (sub
mgp). The difficulty arises if you want only one set of axes changed, which
is not what was requested.
There's no real difficulty there: axis takes an mgp arg as well. So you
can plot without axes, then add one axis with one mgp value, and the
other axis with a different one.

## Example using your "example"
par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
x <- 1:10
y <- rnorm(10)
plot(x,y, axes=F)
box()
at <- pretty(x)
min <- par("usr")[1]
max <- par("usr")[2]
at <- at[ at >= min & at <= max] # pretty extends the range
axis(1, at=at, labels=FALSE)
mtext(at, side=1, at=at, line=3)
plot(x, y, mgp = c(3, 3, 0))
Regards, Mark.

R-help,
How can I specify the distance between the axis and axis annotation?
I don't think you can do this directly, but you can do it using mtext.
For example:
x <- 1:10
y <- rnorm(10)
plot(x,y, axes=F)
box()
at <- pretty(x)
min <- par("usr")[1]
max <- par("usr")[2]
at <- at[ at >= min & at <= max] # pretty extends the range
axis(1, at=at, labels=FALSE)
mtext(at, side=1, at=at, line=3)
