Maybe I'm missing something too but from your example seems like you are
looking for

xyplot(rnorm(12) ~ 1:12 , type="l",
scales=list(x=list(at=seq(2,12,2),labels=c(1, ' ', 3 , ' ' , 5 , ' ' ))),
par.settings=list(axis.components=list(bottom=list(tck=c(0,1)))))

See "scales" in ?xyplot and str(trellis.par.get()) for some settings in
lattice
