Not really.  The problem is that it is really quite hard to find any 
generally applicable, sensible way of distributing tics on such 
arbitrarily deformed axes, so odds are you'ld have to place the tics 
manually anyway --- in which case there wouldn't not much to be gained 
by having such a feature in gnuplot in the first place.

So: transform the data to be plotted, and place tics manually, as in

	set parametric
	set xtics ('1' f(1), '2' f(2), '3' f(3))
	plot f(t), f(g(t)) t 'g(x)'
