The next version of gnuplot will allow you to create a "square" plotting
area, (this varies with the driver, so it might not work on all drivers).
With this circles are possible.

That might be the only way. Gnuplot is primarily cartesian in thinking,
so its concept of grids is rectangular. It is fairly straightforward to
draw the circles and radiating lines in parametric mode to generate a
polar grid.
