Hold on.  Maybe I did overlook an alternative.  One can solve the 
unequal borders problem by creating a phantom tic/unit for the top plots 
and placing a label for the bottom xlabel.  I.e.,

set multiplot
unset key
unset xlabel
set xtics nomirror
set xtics ("" 1e100)
set tics out
set size 0.95,0.35
set origin 0.05,0.6
plot sin(x)
set origin 0.05,0.315
plot sin(x+0.78540)
set origin 0.05,0.03
set xtics autofreq
set label 1 "amplitude" at screen 0.03,0.53 center rotate front
set label 2 "time (s)" at screen 0.53,0.03 center front
plot sin(x+1.5708)
unset multiplot

I'll just mumble to myself here for a while...
