the code is not correct!

\usepackage{color} %used for font color

shouldn't be there, color handling is done by pstricks.sty

I suppose, that I do not really understand your problem ...
I get a rounded frame independent from the fillcolor.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(3,3)
\psframe*(3,3)
\rput(1.5,1.5){\psframebox*[framearc=.5,
	fillcolor=white,framesep=2pt]{\huge Text}}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
