[Sorry for the late reply, I missed your mail the first time around.]

I think you need the 'legend' functionality. A naive example is:

arrowFun <- function(x = c(0.25, 0.75), ...)
{
    require(grid)
    linesGrob(x = x, y = 0.5, default.units = "npc",
              arrow = arrow(...))
}

xyplot(1 ~ 1, legend = list(top = list(fun = arrowFun, args = list(x =
c(0.1, 0.5)))))
xyplot(1 ~ 1, legend = list(top = list(fun = arrowFun(type = "closed"))))


Your actual requirements would be more complicated because (1) your
grob will be more complicated (but see draw.key and draw.colorkey for
examples) and (2) your legend has to get resized in sync with the
plot. The second part is more complicated, and the simplest approach
would be to fix the absolute size of your panels (see ?print.trellis).
Of course the easiest solution would be to draw your arrow inside the
panel.
