I've just tried it in ExPress It and it can be done there.
Open your image, copy and paste it into a Word document and save as a word doc..
Select Insert text in the labeller, copy and paste the doc onto the label and select the text object then go to the top tool bar and select Effects, then distort presets and pick out the semi-circle.

I don't know if you can get a full circle in there, or what effect you get if you were to cut the picture in half and invert one and try to rejoin it using the drag handles.

I think you can get the same effect or better on Neato.

You could try this if you're using CS2.

First create a new document by going up to file, new. When the dialog box pops up, set your image size so the horizontal and vertical are both equal and larger than that of your original image, also change the background contents at the bottom to tranparent.
Next grab the eliptical marquee tool from the tools palette, it's hidden beneath the rectangular marquee tool top left corner. draw a circle inside this new document, hold down the shift key while dragging to maintain a fixed aspect ratio, so you get a perfect circle. Now switch to the image you want to paste into this circle, hold down the alt key on your keyboard, and double click on the background layer in the layers palette, to remove the padlock. Then while holding down the ctrl key, click on the unlocked layer to select it, then go upto edit and select copy. Now switch to your transparent document with the circle, go upto edit and select paste into. When that's done, hold down the ctrl key and press the letter T, to call up the free tranfrom tool, then just drag the top middle box of that tool upwards and the bottom middle box down until the pasted image fills the circle and click enter.
