'g' is generally assumed to be 9.8 ms-2 (or N/kg). It varies depending on your alltitude, the density of the rock you're standing on. The actual force you "feel" also depends on how far you are from the axis of rotation of the earth, the position of the moon. For a fascinating table of values measured at different lattitudes see:- www.earthmatrix.com/extract81.html

Remember you still need to account for the temp/pressure conditions that the measurement was taken at, there are umpteen different 'standard' conditions each with their corresponding correction factors, so you can't even assume that 1hp = 1hp unless they are corrected to the same standard.
