interaction.plot() is a good start.

No, nor is it documented to: the help page is there to help you.  You need 
a single factor as the grouping, so make one via an interaction.
boxplot(y ~ f1:f2) should work.  E.g.

library(MASS)
boxplot(FL ~ sex:sp, data=crabs)

Another idea is to use lattice's bwplot.  E.g.

library(lattice)
bwplot(FL ~ sex | sp, data=crabs)
