If you have the OE mtn database, this should be all you need to check
out the OE metadata.  See
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/GettingStarted

mtn --db=OE.mtn checkout --branch=org.openembedded.dev

The pull step is optional and you can just download new DB snapshots
to get updates.

However, the OE build system relies on fetching source files from a
number of external sources using various means such as SVN, git, etc.
If your proxy will not let mtn traffic through, it is very likely you
will run into problems fetching source files during a build.
