Simplest way is to try the example command for setting up TCP port
redirection to Squid.

Linux 2.0.X:
  /sbin/ipfwadm -I -a accept -P tcp -D 0/0 80 -r 3128

Linux 2.2.X:
  /sbin/ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT 80 -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d
0.0.0.0/0 80

If if says "protocol not supported" or a similar error message then the
kernel is most likely not compiled with transparent proxy support.
