You had the right idea with the cylinder. Look up "boolean operation" in the help section, and you'll get it.

1- Create a square
2- Create a circle
3- Convert them to spline
4- Attach one to the other
5- Convert the resulting shape to poly
6- Select the resulting face
7- Extrude it as desired
8- Choose "Border" in the Poly Submenu and cap the other side (or hit Alt+P)

(I don´t like Booleans);)

The simple way is to use compound object and use boolean,
Place a cylender inside the box and make sure the height of the cylender is more than the box, use pick object button and u will get the result
