Try loading the Graphics`Graphics` package.  It defines an undocumented
function called PiScale which can be plugged into the Ticks option.  For
example, you can do the following:

Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"]
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}, Ticks->{PiScale, Automatic}]

If you want finer control than this, you have to manipulate the Ticks
option per the instructions in the Mathematica book.
