No, it can't be proportional because the only value proportional to 0 is zero itself. However, there can be a linear relationship such as y=ax+b, where b is non-zero. Proportionality applies if b=0. And proportionality isn't restricted to a linear relationship. y=ax^3 is a proportionality but y=ax^3+b isn't.
