> Is there a way to change the font for the axes tickmark labels?

Yes, you can do so with the option DefaultFont.

Below are two examples that appear in Chapter 1 of 
The Mathematica Graphics Guidebook (Addison-Wesley, 1994)
by Cameron Smith with Nancy Blachman.


Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}, 
	DefaultFont -> {"Times-Italic", 8}
]

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}, 
	DefaultFont -> {"Symbol", 8},
	Ticks->{{0,{Pi/2,"p/2"},{Pi,"p"},{3Pi/2,"3p/2"},{2Pi,"2p"}}, 
		{-1,-.5,0,.5,1}}
]
