Yes; the simplest solution is to use the useOuterStrips() function
from latticeExtra.

If you mean automatically, then panel.grid() allows you to specify the
'n' parameter to pretty(). This works for the x-axis in your example
(see below), but not the y-axis. For finer control, you need to
specify the locations explicitly (probably using panel.abline).

There probably should be one (maybe called "axis.tick"), but there
isn't yet. A workaround is to use scales$col (see below).

Not really. You could change the default panel function if you want.
Here's a modified version of your example:
# lattice version
lattice.options(default.theme = canonical.theme(color = T))
trellis.par.set("strip.border" = list(col="white"))
trellis.par.set("background" = list(col="white"))
trellis.par.set("axis.line" = list(col="white"))
trellis.par.set("strip.background" = list(col="darkgrey"))
trellis.par.set("superpose.symbol" = list(col = myColors, pch=16, cex=0.8))
library(latticeExtra)
p2 <-
xyplot(value ~ x | condition2 + condition1,
data=df, groups = variable,
panel = function(x, y, ...) {
panel.fill(grey(0.95), border="white")
panel.grid(h=-10, v=-10,
col="white",
lty=1, lwd=1)
panel.grid(h=-5, v=-5,
col="white",
lty=1, lwd=2.5)
panel.superpose(x, y, ...)
},
as.table = TRUE,
between = list(x = 0.1, y = 0.1),
scales = list(col = "darkgrey"),
auto.key =
list(space = "right", title = "variable"))
print(useOuterStrips(p2))
