Your ~/.hgrc can contain something like this:

[http_proxy]
# The proxy will not be used for these hosts:

Have you read http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CACertificates?
(particularly the Fedora/RHEL section and the  "Other certificate
authorities"/"Self-signed certificates" sections)

Hope that helps,
