No.
If you want the system to take care of this for you, you have to move
up a layer in the networking stack to the Foundation URL Loading
System.

Terribly name, great functionality.
Thanks, Quinn. I did see that API in the google search I originally
did, but since it was Cocoa, I didn't bother diving in. Should have
mentioned that I'm writing Carbon apps. It may be possible to do the
"Cocoa in Carbon" thing, but I've never tried that.
BTW, my app used to use URLAccess. I believe URLAccess doesn't have
any support for proxy server authentication. I wanted to migrate to
CFNetwork since it's the preferred API.
The flip side though is that I could just choose not to support this
proxy mode. I've had no customer complaints about this with the
URLAccess implementation. So in theory, they won't miss it either with
my CFNetwork implementation :)
