you are writing text on a circle with its center at 4,3.7
Your radius is 5.7, the reason why a \fbox can not work.
You'll find the correct coordinates when using a help grid
with  \begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true]...

\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\usepackage{pstricks,pst-text,pst-3d}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}

%\begin{CJK}{}{min}
\psframebox{%
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-3,-3)(11,11)
\pstextpath[c](0,0){%
		\psarcn[linestyle=none](4,3.7)
		{5.7}{330}{340}}{\Huge 123}
\pstextpath[c](0,0){%
		\psarcn[linestyle=none](4,3.7)
		{5.7}{-30}{33}}{\Huge A}  % (ABCD each) to be rotated
\pstextpath[c](0,0){%
		\psarcn[linestyle=none](4,3.7)
		{5.7}{33}{60}}{\Huge XYZ}
\pscircle(4,3.7){5.7}
\end{pspicture}%
}
%\end{CJK}
\end{document}


if you want to rotate the letters use \psarcn instead,
substract 180 degrees from the former angles.
