After delving a bit into the fink code I have an answer. The proxy information is used when running the "fink" tool. However, in the first stage of the bootstrap, packages are being downloaded without actually using the full "fink tool", and the proxy information isn't being given to the download method. Unfortunately, since fink uses somewhat abstract methods for flexibility, I haven't quite figured out how to make this fix yet. :-) However, what I _can_ do in the short term is make up a tarball of a Fink installation and put it online so that you can download it and install that.
