Yes and no...you can't do an infinite plane, but a plane confined to a 
box or sphere is easy.

function {y}
will make a plane in the xz plane (all points where y is equal to a 
specific value). You could also use "x" or "z" for a plane on another 
axis.
For a plane with an arbitrary normal, use:
function {x*A + y*B + z*C}
where A, B, and C are the xyz components of the normal.
