As far as I know or can tell, hkp is basically just a protocol on top of http. Whichever one you use, gpg will send the same request. I think the only difference is that a url starting with http:// defaults to port 80 whereas one with the hkp scheme defaults to port 11371.

Thus http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371 works exactly the same as hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371

I think if you include the port number in your configuration, or if you tell gpg to use your proxy, you should be fine.
