i don't think so -- checking the proxy variable should be transparent to  
the apps and done by which layer is responsible for managing th connection.

someone in this thread said it is called
$http_proxy

and you can set it in one of your if-up.d/ scripts in a way like

if [ $IFACE -eq "ppp0" ] ; then
	export $http_proxy=yourproxyforgprs
fi
