Yes, although call-process-region should work.  The setenv I define in
.emacs seem to be visible for me within sub-processes.  I think it
would be better to first understand exactly why call-process-region
doesn't work for you.

Try evaluate the following

(progn
  (setenv "FOO" "bar")
  (call-process-region (point-min) (point-max) shell-file-name
		       nil (current-buffer) nil shell-command-switch "set"))

I get:

BASH=/bin/bash
BASH_VERSINFO=([0]="2" [1]="05a" [2]="0" [3]="1" [4]="release" [5]="i386-pc-linux-gnu")
BASH_VERSION='2.05a.0(1)-release'
COLORTERM=gnome-terminal
CVS_RSH=ssh
DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID=
DIRSTACK=()
DISPLAY=:0.0
EUID=22541
FOO=bar
...

Is it possible that your shell somehow alters the http proxy variable?
