No.
It's supposedly going to be half-there in Fedora 8 (proxying
will work from stage 2 of the install onwards).
You can bodgy it. Set up a transparent proxy and re-write
the URLs the use the explicit proxy.
Plan B is simply to download the whole thing to somewhere
local using wget and run a HTTP server from there. That's
how I upgrade my machines at home, since it avoids multiple
downloads from the ISP and is much faster than an install
from a DVD, taking maybe 15 minutes.
