  No-one seems to have answered this yet, hope it's useful. You could
easily encapsulate this into a function if you wanted.

## barplot with dotted lines

tmp <- matrix(runif(30),nrow=5)
defspace <- 0.8
b <- barplot(tmp,beside=FALSE,space=defspace)
mid <- (b[-1]+b[-length(b)])/2
e1 <- mid-defspace/2
e2 <- mid+defspace/2
nr <- nrow(tmp)
nc <- ncol(tmp)
xpos1 <- rep(e1,rep(nr,length(e1)))
xpos2 <- rep(e2,rep(nr,length(e2)))
tmpcum <- apply(tmp,2,cumsum)
ypos1 <- tmpcum[,-nc]
ypos2 <- tmpcum[,-1]
segments(xpos1,ypos1,xpos2,ypos2,lty=2,col=4)
