Do you mean something like:

LABEL="label in a box"
set obj 10 rect at 0,0 size char strlen(LABEL), char 1 fc rgb "cyan"
set label 10 LABEL at 0,0 front center
plot sin(x)

Here's a link to gnuplot's demo where I got the idea.

Of course, you can make the size of the box slightly bigger -- I find that it makes things look a little nicer:

set obj 10 rect at 0,0 size char strlen(LABEL)+1, char 1.5 fc rgb "cyan"

But that's up to you.
