Here's what I did:

Install net-misc/connect
Save the script below and do `export GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=/path/to/script`
set http_proxy, and everything works dandy.

Maybe this can be done inside the eclass if http_proxy is set?

proxy=${http_proxy#http://}
host=${proxy##*@}
auth=${proxy%@*}
if test "${auth}" != "${proxy}"; then
export HTTP_PROXY_USER=${auth%%:*}
export HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD=${auth##*:}
fi
connect -H ${host} $1 $2
