looks like a bug in the package. Use it this way:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-vue3d}
\makeatletter
\providecommand\pst at linetype{1}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

   \begin{pspicture}(1,.5)(7,5)
 
\psset{THETA=-30,PHI=-30,Dobs=10,Decran=10,fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=blue}
     \psframe[linestyle=dashed,fillcolor=red](0,0)(4,4)
     \PortionSphereThreeD[linestyle=dashed](0,0,0){4}
   \end{pspicture}
\end{document}


However, pst-vue3d is really obsolet, you should try pst-solides3d,
it has more features. Run the documentation with "texdoc pst-solides3d"
