I forgot to add the magic bit: there's a reason I said port 443 of a
remote machine. Set up an sshd running on a remote port 443, and try
this:

telnet yourproxy 8888
CONNECT externalbox:443

You should see:

200 Connection established

SSH-1.5-1.2.26

How to combine this evilness with a portforwarding proxy is left as
an exercise to the reader.
