\pstTriangle creates new nodes which you can use like normal:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-eucl}
\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{pspicture}(0,-0.2)(4,3.2)
\pstTriangle[PointSymbol=none,linecolor=blue](0,0){A}(4,3){B}(4,0){C}
\ncline[linestyle=none]{A}{B}\naput{first}
\ncline[linestyle=none]{B}{C}\naput{second}
\ncline[linestyle=none]{A}{C}\nbput{third}
\pstRightAngle[linecolor=blue]{A}{C}{B}
\end{pspicture}
\end{center}

\end{document}
