No, it isn't. HTTP is by definition over port 80 - or perhaps 8080:
$ grep http /etc/services
...
www 80/tcp http # WorldWideWeb HTTP
...
http-alt 8080/tcp webcache # WWW caching service
http-alt 8080/udp # WWW caching service
but hkp:
$ grep hkp /etc/services
hkp 11371/tcp # OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver
Keyservers _can_ handle http, but keyserver.ubuntu.com doesn't. Of course I
need proxies - but if keyserver.ubuntu.com was properly configured, I
wouldn't.
