Somewhat doable, look at the "Metrics" report in Hobbit 4.2.0.

Generally, this is possible for the graphs that have a "multi"
definition in hobbitgraphs.cfg - and those are the ones where there is a
fixed set of RRD files. Thus the disk-graphs and http-graphs cannot be
handled this way.

If you must have a combined disk-graph for all of your hosts showing the
utilisation on a specific filesystem, then you can define a new entry 
in hobbitgraphs.cfg for this; the key is to name it something with
"multi", and use an FNPATTERN setting naming the exact RRD file you want
to use from each host, e.g. "disk,root.rrd" for the root filesystem.
Then you can invoke the hobbitgraph CGI from a URL like

http://hobbitserver/cgi-bin/hobbitgraph.sh?host=hostA,hostB,hostC&service=mydisk&graph=hourly&action=view

This could go on a hand-crafted HTML page you setup for this purpose.
