Assuming you get a proxy set up, such that
http://mysite.com/remotewfsserver/ points to
http://example.com/cgi-bin/mapserv -- you don't *need* to do anything
anymore, because as far as the browser is concerned, the URL
mysite.com/remotewfsserver is running under the same domain. (Remember,
all that matters is what the browser thinks it is talking to.)

So, once cubewerx.something/remotewfs?request=GetCapabilities, make your
WFS layer point to cubewerx.something/remotewfs, and you won't need
a proxy anymore.
