Convert to polar coordinates against the orientation of the square from 
the center of the square to the center of the circle.

Use trig functions to calculate the exit point of the square on the line 
between the two centers and the compare the distances.

I would need to know the orientation and size of your square and circle 
to give hard numbers.

But remember the trick is polar coordinates.

On the other hand if you always know that the circle will intersect a 
horizontal or vertical wall (no corners hitting) then you can just model 
it as the intersection of two squares :)
