I would be quite surprised if you can find an HTTP(S) proxy that will 
scrutinize CONNECT traffic going to Kerberos related services.

The thing that the proxy probably can do is authorization checking of 
who is allowed to do the CONNECT to Kerberos.  E.g. authenticate to the 
proxy before issuing the CONNECT.  Somewhat analogous to a VPN.
