What you would be looking for is whether the proxy server you're  
behind supports authentication with SSL certificates instead of  
username/password. This depends which software your proxy server is  
running.

A better option might be to use an SSH tunnel, provided you have  
access to a server from you internal network that is able to make  
outwards connections. If this is possible, you could set up a SSH  
tunnel that forwards all requests to a specific address  
(gitorious.org) on a specific port (80, if you're using HTTP) through  
the server that is connected to both networks (your internal network  
and the Internet).

A big advantage to the latter approach is that this would work with  
the other protocols (SSH, git) as well as http. If you intend to push  
to gitorious, you'll need to be able to make ssh connections (port  
22), for cloning the git protocol (port 9418) is a lot faster than HTTP.

Either way you either need to consult with your proxy administrators  
or someone who can give you ssh access to a machine connected to the  
Internet.

Actually, this would be a feature in Git, not in Gitorious. Since your  
computer never actually gets past the proxy server, Gitorious never  
knows you tried to connect.
