Do histones constitute the largest proportion of the protein in chromosomes at mitosis?
If you are asking if histone mass represents a larger percentage of total chromosome mass then the answer is yes when considered at the level of the nucleosome. Each histone-octamer wraps ~147 base pairs of dna around 1.7 turns. The histone-octamer consists of  two copies of each of the four structural core proteins (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). The sequence encoding for H2A histone family member B1 (H2AFB1) is 517 nucleotides long (RefSeq). Based on nucleotide length alone and inferring a consistent contribution to mass from nucleotides at the single base level and in triplet at the amino acid level, each nucleosome should be roughly 95% histone by mass. But this doesnt account for stochasticity in the mass and density due to DNA-methylation and to heterochromatin and euchromatin along the genome, respectively.

Consider DNA methylation, these features represent a non-zero contribution to total chromosomal mass that would decrease histone mass as a portion of the total and would not be considered if whole genome sequencing of a single organism was employed to answer this question at the genome level for a single sample. Now consider histone acetylation, this is another feature that represents a non-zero contribution to mass but swings the pendulum in the other direction. Beyond a local calculation at the nucleosome level this relationship would be nearly impossible to quantify.

During replication specifically, histone translation seems to be as tightly regulated as DNA replication.
