Here a brute force method:
sysuse auto, clear
recode rep78 1/2=3
egen byvar = group(foreign rep78)
label define byvar 1 "average" 2 "good" 3 "excelent" ///
4 " " 5 " " 6 " "
label value byvar byvar
scatter price mpg , by(byvar, ///
r1title("Foreign Domestic", ///
box size(small) bmargin(0 0 5 5) lcolor(none) bexpand) ) ///
name(col, replace)
