Hi

Not in the persp() function itself, but the following code converts the 
persp() output to 'grid' output then modifies the labels to add 
percentage signs ...

x <- seq(-10, 10, length= 30)
y <- x
f <- function(x, y) { r <- sqrt(x^2+y^2); 10 * sin(r)/r }
z <- outer(x, y, f)
z[is.na(z)] <- 1
op <- par(bg = "white")
persp(x, y, z, theta = 30, phi = 30, expand = 0.5, col = "lightblue",
       ticktype = "detailed")

library(gridGraphics)
grid.echo()
labelGrobs <- grid.grep("z-axis-labels", grep=TRUE, global=TRUE)
addPercent <- function(x) {
     lab <- grid.get(x)
     grid.edit(x, label=paste0(lab$label, "%"), redraw=FALSE)
}
lapply(labelGrobs, addPercent)
grid.refresh()

... is that what you meant?  The positioning of the labels relative to 
the tick marks is imperfect and could perhaps be improved by also 
editing the 'cex' for the labels, but hopefully this gets close enough 
to be useful.
