You can use rect together with par("usr") like this:
usr <- par("usr")
plot(1:20, type = "n")
rect(1, usr[3], 10, usr[4], col = "red")
rect(11, usr[3], 20, usr[4], col = "blue")
points(1:20)
There is also an example of this using polygon in place of rect here:
http://www.mayin.org/ajayshah/KB/R/html/g5.html
and an example of doing it with lattice graphics using xyplot.zoo
(the same idea would work with xyplot) mid way through the examples in:
library(zoo)
?xyplot.zoo
