They are really two different things. For a firewall, the Subversion
protocols are all pretty standard and can be used through a firewall
provided that the ports are opened. If you are using http/https odds are
the ports are already open. If you are using svn then just open port
3690.

If you need to configure an http proxy, then that is a client
configuration issue. This section of the Subversion book explains the
configuration settings, one of which is for an http proxy.

Finally, note that some proxies block all HTTP protocol methods except GET
and POST. Subversion uses WebDAV which uses a bunch of other methods such
as LOCK, PROPFIND, CHECKOUT, MKCOL etc... If your proxy cannot be changed
to allow these, then one workaround is to use https:// Then the proxy
cannot see the method to block it.
