I have never tried, but to get Squid running behind Socks you need to
socksify it. How to socksify a application is documented in the Socks
documentation.

If you have socks5 installed it might be as simple as starting squid by
using the runsocks command (a wrapper that tries to do a runtime
socksification of any program).

The socks support is outside squid (in the socks library). All
configuration needed should be in the socks configuration files.
