not really easy ...
However, you should use in this case \pcline instead of \ncline

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks,pst-node}
\usepackage{esvect}
\parindent=0pt
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-0.5)(6,3)%\psgrid
\psset{arrowscale=4,arrowlength=3,arrowsize=0 1.5,arrowinset=0,
linewidth=0.5pt}
\cnode(0,0){0cm}{O}\cnode(4,0){0cm}{A}
\cnode(6,2){0cm}{B}\cnode(2,2){0cm}{C}
\pcline{->}(O)(B)
\nbput[nrot=:U]{$\vv{b}+\vv{a}$}
\naput[nrot=:U]{$\vv{a}+\vv{b}$}
\pcline{->}(O)(A)\nbput{$\vv{b}$}
\pcline{->}(O)(C)\naput{$\vv{a}$}
\pcline{->}(A)(B)\nbput{$\vv{a}$}
\pcline{->}(C)(B)\naput{$\vv{b}$}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
