If you're installing Foreman from scratch, why wouldn't you just install
Katello using katello-installer?

No, that's not enough at all. Existing Foreman objects need to be
created in the pulp and candlepin databases, SSL certificates need to be
in the right places everwhere, in a very different configuration than a
plain foreman install.
The qpid message bus and qpid-dispatch router need the be configured,
other configuration files need to be setup with various tokens and
credentials, etc.
If you did manage to somehow address all of these concerns by hand, this
kind of setup wouldn't have any further upgrade path to future versions
of Katello.

The proxy needs to run pulp, and be configured in specific ways.

No, only qpid.
We've having a discussion today[1] on google hangouts about the topic,
and there's some notes in the Wiki[2] and Redmine[3], but the effort
here is more like Katello 2.3 or 2.4 for this feature.
