Yep it would be nice to install through a socks firewall, but I'm not sure the
effort would be worth it.  I usually ftp stuff local, install through nfs 
and then setup Socks.  So I have very little motivation for this, whereas I 
had strong motivation to get Socks5 going so I won't have to build 
socks'ified stuff and then tell my friends what a nice fire wall FreeBSD 
makes and lets you share one IP.

However if a socks'ified sysinstall did happen I wouldn't complain, but
hardly use it.
