I'm all for male hugging, me and my friends usually go completly overboard bear hug stylee.
There does seem to be a correlation between the hug given and the length of time apart and type of friend.
My friend in the army who i rarely see (but have been through a fair bit) gets a socking great big hug, as does my best mate when i see him (also rarely these days). Other friends get, as jth said, the 'man hug' of slapping backs.
The average male hug in my friendship circles seems to entail a much deeper bond than the hugs that go around in my g/f's circles with her female friends for instance. I guess there is that extra bit of anti-touchy feely that most guys have which stops hugging except with good friends. That and my friends are quite possibly the most homosexual straight people in existance, your just as likely to get a squeeze on the ass as a hug, so frak knows.
...I feel a psychological study coming on...
