How about?

set hidden3d front
set samples 100,10
set isosamples 100,10
splot x*y with pm3d, x*y with lines lc "black"

That seems pretty close to the same plot, at least conceptually.  There 
may be some subtle difference.  Generally, it may not be true that pm3d 
works with hidden3d, but when the two data sets are the same surface it 
is fairly accurate behavior.
