I am afraid that you can not do it. Only if you you accept assumption that distribution within each factor is normal and therefore median equals mean. You can than also use 25 an 75 percentile for box construction. see ?boxplot and ?bxp for internals of plotting function. One possibility also is to generate values by mean and sd parameters to rnorm, although I do not see the reason for doing it.
