  You can use the "framesep" parameter, as for all the text box macros,
and also the LaTeX \makebox and \rule macros to change the shape of the diamond.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{pst-node}

\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

\psdiabox{Diamond}\hfill%
\psdiabox[framesep=0]{Diamond}\hfill%
\psdiabox[framesep=0.3]{Diamond}

\psdiabox{\makebox[4cm]{Diamond}}\hfill%
\psdiabox[framesep=-0.3]{\rule[-0.9cm]{0cm}{2cm}Diamond}

\end{document}
