rgl currently only sets up one coordinate system, so whatever text you 
put on a plot will move when you move the plot.  Over the summer I'm 
hoping to add a number of features that would allow what you want, but 
they aren't there yet.

If you don't mind having the text move, you can write it outside of the 
data area by setting par3d(ignoreExtent=TRUE); this will not count in 
bounding box calculations.
