Here is some information here about installing Watir from behind a proxy. http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Installing+ruby+gems+from+behind+proxy+firewall
Watir now depends on several other gems, so it will be complicated to try and download and install them them all locally. You will need to find out how to make the Proxy install work. Thousands of other users have been able to get this to work, so please be persistent. This is a general feature of the Ruby Gem system, and not Watir specific.
