No. The first argument to RewriteRule is a url-path, not an absolute URL.
The original question wasn't completely specified, since we don't know
if foo and bar reside on the same machine or not. If they do, you can
use a simple virtual host in httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bar
DocumentRoot /path/to/bar
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName foo
DocumentRoot /path/to/bar/site/foo
</VirtualHost>
If they don't reside on the same machine, you do indeed need to proxy,
and mod_rewrite is probably the right tool. You'll need a
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://bar/site/foo/$1 [P]
You may also need a ProxyPassReverse directive.
