Dear Frank,
you can use grconvertY and grconvertX to convert from user coordinates
to inches etc and vice versa.
E.g.

lines(rep(.25*1500,2),grconvertY(grconvertY(par("usr")[3],"user","inches")+c(0,.1),from="inches",to="user"))

should produce a tick of 0.1 inches height, regardless of the actual
plot height.

Hope this helps.
