No, the BBHOSTS variable is only set for the task that generates the
report. Leave all of your normal configuration files untouched; but
create the new report-layout-bb-hosts file "bb-hosts.report". Then
run the report from a script like this:

   #!/bin/sh
   BBHOSTS=/home/xymon/server/etc/bb-hosts.report
   export BBHOSTS
   bbgen <<the options you you normally use to build the report>>
