No, it can't, ATM. yum/config.py:
: proxy = UrlOption(default=False, schemes=('http', 'ftp', 'https'), allow_none=True)
Only these proxy schemes are supported.
Yum runs on top of urlgrabber, pycurl, and libcurl. Since curl 7.21.7
socks{4,4a,5,5h}:// proxy protocol prefixes are supported, so adding
support in urlgrabber and yum should be quite easy, but there's some
glue code involved. Does the following work?
$ curl http://some-url --proxy socks4://your-proxy
