It would appear more screen shots of Duke Nukem 3D are floating around the net, some now showing XBLA images. These of course are from the 360, however the game is pretty well aimed at PC action to stick to its roots. Check it out:
Given the flood of screenshots from various outlets and languages, it is likely that the port has appeared on PartnerNet, a closed Xbox Live network only accessible through development kits and debug units.
PartnetNet availablity would also indicate that the price point of 1337 Microsot Points, as specified in one of the shots, is sadly nothing more than a placeholder.

The enhanced XBLA release will arrive this year with co-op and online multiplayer in tow, according to a Dallas Business Journal report that contained "off the record" information.
While other details of that report--supposed platforms and release date for Duke Nukem Forever--were quickly removed, the Duke Nukem 3D port information remained intact, suggesting its validity.
Developer 3D Realms has previously indicated its desire to port the classic ass-kicking, bubblegum-chewing PC shooter to Xbox Live Arcade. At that time, the port's release was uncertain, and the company has yet to make any further official comments.
