Interesting. You aren't using marginsplot, but I guess you have the whole arsenal of graphics commands at your disposal.

With a little tweaking, this also works with Stata 11.2. You just substitute agegrp for _m1.

version 11.2
clear*
webuse nhanes2
regress bpsystol agegrp##sex if region ==4
margins agegrp, saving(mymargins,replace)
clear*
use mymargins
l
line _mar agegrp,  lc(black)  ///
  || rcap _ci_u _ci_l agegrp, lc(black) ///
  ||, legend(off)  xlabel(, valuelabel) ytitle(Linear Prediction)

Run that same code under Stata 12, though, and you get an error, i.e. it doesn't seem to respect the version control. So, this may be a use at your own risk, i.e. the code isn't guaranteed to work the same way in the future.
