To make the check-box align with other controls, I would like to place the check-box to the right of it's label. Is there a way to do this without creating a separate label (static text box), or having to dig into the Java code?

This can only be done using Java. You have 2 options:
1. Use findjobj (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/14317) to get the uicontrol's underlying Java component and then set its HorizontalTextPosition and HorizontalAlingment properties. This is described in section 6.4 of my book.
2. Create a new JCheckbox component, set its properties accordingly, then use the javacomponent function (http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/javacomponent) to place it in the Matlab figure.
