RJ11 Jack, Panel-mount, ROUND HOLE
Does such a thing exist?
I'm not much good at cutting square holes in panels ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I don't know if one exists specifically for RJ-11, but there are plenty meant for Ethernet (RJ-45), and you can plug RJ-11 plugs into RJ-45 jacks and all.
See, e.g.,

Mouser has one but it isn't cheap at 27 bucks.
What kind of 'panel'?
May not be elegant but use an RJ11 wall plate for like a buck or two.
MMMMM $173 each . bargain.
Buy a punch or use a milling machine. If the material is soft you can use a drill-press and a cross vice as well.

ABS Project Box.
Can wall plates be had in black? ...Jim Thompson

1/8" ABS
No access to a milling machine.
Can you point me to a punch? ...Jim Thompson

Expensive,very expensive......but good if there's lots to do.
Use a dremel....finish off with a file.

If you have a drill press, you can use a Broache to make a square hole. Might be cheaper than a Punch.
But for this I would use a nibbler, like the one RadioShack sells (or used to)
Cheers
Just use a file. It won't take that long.

Wall plates, sure. Slightly more difficult for RJ11.
Keystone has a 'modular' system. I.E. you get a plate with square holes and then populate them with what you want. Looks like their fewest holes is 2 but, on Amazon at least, 3 is cheaper and you can put blanks in unused holes.
I think this is the RJ11 for them
Kinda cool, actually. You can even get banana jack, binding post, and, of course, RCA jack inserts.
Of course, on a project box you can drill holes for those but for wall mount the plate in neat.
Multiple people make these things as "Keystone insert" is rather like a 'standard form factor'.
Would probably be best to find a place that has the lot rather than piecemeal via Amazon.
I don't claim these folks are 'best price' but they seem to have a good selection and at least it would be combined shipping.
Here they say in 2, 3, 4, or 6 but I swear I see a '1' in that picture and the 'length' box, which I presume is number of holes, has '1' as a choice.
Not sure this one is actually 'black' but it looks close enough.
The 'blank'
carve the hole with a dull jack-knife and a nailfile.

How about a nibbler. Something like this one fro Radio Shack:
It can't handle the 1/8".
You're right. *That* one can't. The one I bought from RS about 20 years ago can. I use it about twice a week. There should be similar products out there that will handle that depth in plastic. Other alternative is a deep-throat fret saw. something like
Do they have a Home Depot or Lowe's or Builders' Emporium or equivalent in Arizona?
They've got RJ11's up the ying-yang.
Good Luck! Rich
Or a hot X-acto knife, or even an X-acto saw.
Good Luck! Rich
Not to worry - JT's always crowing about how loaded he is.
Cheers! Rich
Not a round hole, but a panel mount that would cover little mistakes:

Thanks, Michael! Perfect! Now no one will know of my "little mistakes". ...Jim Thompson
