Hi

Look at the source code.

graphics:::plot.histogram

You can find that boxes are actually drawn by rect

So if you want to use standard graphics, you probably need to modify 
source code and set up your version of plot.histogram.

Maybe with ggplot2 package you can find some way how to do what you want 
but you shall check yourself.

Regards
Petr
