To emerge through a proxy you need to run this command
export http_proxy="http://username:password@proxy:8080"
This will set the variable until you restart your computer
If you also want to be able to use rsync you have to also run
export RSYNC_PROXY="http://username:password@proxy:8080"

thanks. I was using an upper case HTTP_PROXY and it wasn’t working so this was useful.
