No Proxy will not handle PXE for you. You have to setup tftpd on
Spacewalk proxy, copy the config from Spacewalk server and change
 ks=http://your.spacewalk.com/ks/cfg/org/1/label/rhel-x86_64-server-5
to
 ks=http://your.spacewalk.proxy.com/ks/cfg/org/1/label/rhel-x86_64-server-5

This way your machine will download kernel and ramdisk from proxy and
everything else will be cached by Proxy.

It is up to you to sync the tftpd menu. If you will have some script for
that, I think more people would welcome if you can share it.
