There is one: http://code.google.com/p/libproxy/
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457035

I was waiting for upstream to answear to the patch before importing.
(i will import soon)

> Examples:
>
>   1. Yum (3.2.19-3.fc10) won't fetch proxy settings from above specified
> location. It has to be set via proxy option in yum.conf or
> http_proxy/ftp_proxy env variable.
>   2. Codeina (0.10.1-9.fc10) will behave the same.
>   3. Revisor (2.1.0-1rc7.fc9) will not even obey http_proxy/ftp_proxy env
> variable settings. It has to be set in revisor.conf via proxy option.
>   .... and the list continues.
>
>   Do we have any plans in near future to force a single location where proxy
> will be set and all other applications must read/write settings from/to that
> location? so that we can set different proxies (in case somebody needs) for
> different applications at that particular location.
