It isn't lattice, but this is pretty easy to do with ggplot2:

install.packages("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)

qplot(vals, ..density.., data = data.frame.A, geom="histogram", facets
= factor.1 ~ factor.2, binwidth = 1) + geom_density(data=data.frame.B)

In ggplot2, every "layer" on the plot can have a different dataset.
You can find out more about ggplot2 at http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/, but
I'm still working on the documentation for these more advanced
features.
