See ?barplot and note in the Value section:

  If beside is true, use colMeans(mp) for the midpoints of each group of bars, 
see example.


Here is another example:

mat <- matrix(1:4, ncol = 2)

mp <- barplot(mat, beside = TRUE)

Groups <- c("A", "B")
Sub.Groups <- c("a", "b", "c", "d")

mtext(side = 1, line = 1, at = mp, text = Sub.Groups)
mtext(side = 1, line = 3, at = colMeans(mp), text = Groups)
