The tics per se are easy.

    unset ytics; set y2tics mirror

The labels are a bit harder because the auto-positioning
was not really designed for this.
You will have to adjust the exact offset and probably force
the left margin to be larger because the program is not
reserving space there for the y2 labels.

    set y2tics offset graph -1.025 right
    set lmargin screen .05
