Indeed it does (though on my system the variables are lowercase):

export http_proxy=http://proxy:port
# then execute your commands.

If your proxy requires authentication, and you don't like having  
passwords in your environment, AND you're using a Mac, I'd recommend  
Authoxy. It's a system daemon that runs as a proxy for your proxy,  
handling the authentication for you. Google it.
