Yes, you can't get at it from redland at present.

However, the underlying www libraries should read from the environment
variables used for proxies.  Curl promises to do this.

The variables are:
http_proxy
ftp_proxy
all_proxy

e.g.

$ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128 rapper -c http://librdf.org/redland.rdf
