Most commandline apps that can use an HTTP proxy read the http_proxy
environment variable. If you are using a bash-like shell, try:

export http_proxy=http://my-proxy-server.com:8080/
svn checkout http://blabla.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ blabla-read-only

This assumes that your proxy is running on port 8080 of
my-proxy-server.com; modify appropriately. I'm not 100% certain svn
supports HTTP proxies, but if it does then this is likely how to specify
it.
