Different proxy configurations require different sets of options here, but the file is pretty well commented, so it should be easy to figure out what you need.  At a minimum you'll need settings for http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port.

(SVN doesn't trust the authority that issued it, and `port sync` below invokes `svn up` with the `--non-interactive` flag, so you won't have the opportunity to accept the certificate then.)

Wouldn't this only be a problem if the Subversion checkout is owned by
the macports user? If it's owned by your user account it should also use
the same configuration files.
