No, and it won't work for anybody in the standard config.
The WAIS protocol is a special kind, it requires a WAIS server in order to
work (Warning, I have no ideea about what I'm talking about, I never had
to wander about WAIS protocol, so please someone explain it better for
us!).
From my knowadleges, Squid & NNavigator require an WAIS proxy to accept
"wais:" URLs.
Hope this helps (somehow).
