This is pretty easy now that I've looked at it.  I added this to my 
orcallator.cfg file just below the "System State" block.

plot {
title                   %g Uptime
source                  orcallator
data                    uptime / 86400
line_type               area
legend                  Uptime
y_legend                Days
data_min                0
}

Rerunning Orca on this now.  Let you know how it works.
