It's not lattice, but this is pretty easy to do with ggplot2:

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

qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars, colour="1") +
geom_point(aes(x = mpg ^ 2, colour="2")) +
geom_point(aes(x=mpg^3, colour="3")) +
scale_colour_discrete("x power")

each time you add a new layer, all of the scale limits are
recalculated to ensure that all data is displayed.  You can read more
