Hello Dirk, yes, pgfplots supports the "symbolic x coords" key (or its variants for y and z). It implements a dictionary which maps categories to numerical data and backwards automatically. Details and examples can be found in the manual, section "coordinate filters" (or similar).
Perhaps interesting: the unstable (!) developer version also supports to compute histograms (available on http://pgfplots.sourceforge.net/).
