I think you want a breaks=NULL in your call to histogram:

library(lattice)
set.seed(42)
mat <- data.frame(C1 = abs(rnorm(100)),
                   C2 = abs(10 * rnorm(100)),
                   C3 = abs(20 * rnorm(100)),
                   C4 = abs(30 * rnorm(100)))
mat2 <- stack(mat)
histogram(~ values | ind, data = mat2, breaks = NULL,
           scales = list(x = list(relation = "free")))
