The grid.points function can accept a lwd argument:

xyplot(4:5~4:5, groups=4:5, panel=function(x,y,groups,...){ 
       panel.xyplot(x,y,...,col='white')
        grid.points(x,y, gp=gpar(cex=10, lwd=7) )         },
        auto.key=TRUE)

This probably means there is a less hackish way of setting the lwd.points, but 
I don't find it in my sequesntial following through the lattice help pages.
