No.  The problem is that plot is only partly implemented.
One should look at the mathematica design for doing this (where this
involves anything with axes), design a sage-friendly way of doing
at least that functionality (and more), then implement it on top
of the current plot command.  I wish I personally had time to do
this right now, but I don't.
