On the command line you have the environment variables http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy, ... which can hold the URL of your proxy.
Eg.
export http_proxy="socks5://localhost:9050"
export https_proxy=$http_proxy
There also seems to be a wrapper calles tsocks which also can be used.
A more comprehensive overview of the Proxy configuration can be found here.
More info on tsocks: You configure tsocks via the file /etc/tsocks.conf, for example I’ve set the following four variables: local = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 # do not use proxy for my local net, server = localhost # in my case the proxy-server runs on my localhost, server_type = 5 # I want to use socks version 5, server_port = 5000 # my proxy uses port 5000. Then I start my programs with tsocks like this: tsocks firefox or tsocks mplayer -playlist http://bassdrive.com/bassdrive.m3u.
