Donald Arseneau recently answered this question. His solution follows. First,
get DM Jones tex-index from niord.shsu.edu (in [fileserv.tex-faq] (?) ). This
is an excellent source of TeX information (thanks DMJ). 

Arseneau's example puts the caption outside the box, but it does allow
the caption to be in the box (just move the \caption line). I have not tested
extensively, however. You should check tex-index for the most recent version.

D Arseneau's macros follow:

% ----  put in a style file,  perhaps "fpbox.sty"  ----
% Create a framed parbox using \begin{fpboxb} ... \end{fpbox}
%
\def\fpbox{\par
  \setbox\@tempboxa\vbox\bgroup
    \advance\hsize-2\fboxrule \advance\hsize-2\fboxsep \textwidth\hsize
}

\def\endfpbox{\egroup\fbox{\box\@tempboxa}\par}
%--------------------end fpbox.sty---------------------
$ example:
\begin{figure}
\begin{fpbox}
\footnotesize\begin{verbatim}
stuff
more stuff
still more stuff
lots and lots of stuff
that's all the stuff
\end{verbatim}
\end{fpbox}
\caption{The caption wants to be outside the box}
\end{figure}
