As Emacs itself is responsible for opening and maintaining this TCP stream, 
you just have to make Emacs socks-aware.  You may use the LD_PRELOAD hack
to "socksify" it (i.e. execute it through runsocks).  On GNU/Linux systems,
you might try the following package :
ftp://ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/internet/security/socks/socks4/

On Debian systems, just install the socks4-clients package.

Cheers,
Benjamin
