Probably not...I'd be happy to help if you want to try and add it, though
:).  Do you log in through a web page?

There's no point in using a web group to view WoS as far as I know.  The
search group uses SOAP web services to query the ISI server directly, then
parses the returned XML.  The nice thing is that it's fast and there's no
screen scraping involved; the downside is that Apple's web service support
sucks, and hasn't really been updated since 10.2.

There's supposedly support for a SOCKS proxy, if that's what you have.
