i did'nt find more then using "text" to add one tick. run this code and adapt it to your problem
t=0.1:1000;y=sin(t)./t;
close;plot(t,y);
ax1=gca;
set(ax1,'xscale','log')
ylim=get(ax1,'ylim');ymin=ylim(1);ymax=ylim(2);
yd=ymax-ymin;
text(4*10,ymin-abs(yd)/40,'4*10^2')
line([40 40],[ymin ymin+abs(yd)/40])
%in this case, the added tick can be ajustable manualy
