That's an interesting point.  If you add that as a "feature request" on
the SourceForge site, perhaps someone will choose to work on it for the
next release version.

You'd have to hack it.  I would suggest using something like this
(totally untested):
   set label 10 at screen 0.9, screen 0.90 "Magnitude 10" point ps 10
   set label  9 at screen 0.9, screen 0.85 "Magnitude  9" point ps  9
   ...
   set label  1 at screen 0.9, screen 0.45 "Magnitude  1" point ps  1
