Any idea if the Obi202 can be configured with GV to support multi-line hunting, i.e. one GV number rings both FXS ports, in order of availability?
The default configuration rings both PHONE Ports on all incoming calls.
Right, but if one port has already gone off-hook and answered a call, and a second party calls the same GV number, I want it to ring through on the port that's on-hook. not call-wait on the port that in-use or ring to voicemail. Can the 202 and GV be so configured?

That's the default behavior.
The phone that's currently in use will get a Call Waiting signal and the phone that's on-hook will ring.
The phone that's currently in use can press the FLASH button to put the existing call on hold and answer the new call.
The phone that's on-hook and ringing can answer the new call.

And presuming I can and do disable call-waiting on the 202, then would the second caller simply ring to the on-hook phone?

Yes. Call Waiting can be enabled/disabled individually on each PHONE Port:
Physical Interfaces -> Phone Port x -> CallWaitingEnable
where x is 1 or 2.

itsel,
Here's some additional information about call handling between the two PHONE Ports:
PHONE 1/2 Collaborative Features (OBi202 Only)
While PHONE 1 and PHONE 2 can function independently of each other, the OBi202 also offers some collaborative features to let the two phone ports work together as a mini phone system.
With the factory default digit map and call routing rules, you can dial a single “#” (pound/hash) digit to call from one phone port to ring the other phone port. Depending on the current state of the called phone, one of the following can happen:
1. If the called phone is idle (on-hook), it will ring normally with a special Caller-ID that indicates the call is from the other PHONE Port.
2. If the called phone is already on a call, the calling phone will barge in to join the call
3. If the called phone is on-hook with a call on-hold, the calling phone will pick up and resume that call.
4. If the called phone is ringing, the calling phone will pick up and aswer that call.
5. For all other scenarios, the calling phone will hear busy tone.
Note that you can prevent the calling phone port from doing 2, 3 and 4, as they can be disabled by setting the parameter EnablePhonePortBargeIn to false for that port. In that case, 2 will become normal call-waiting on the called phone, but the calling phone will hear busy tone for 3 and 4.
You can also transfer an external call from PHONE 1 to PHONE 2 the usual way: while connected on an external all, hook flash and dial # to ring the other phone, then hang up to transfer when the caller phone rings or answers.
For incoming calls on any trunk (SP1-4 or OBiTALK Service), one can set up the corresponding inbound call route to ring just PHONE 1 or PHONE 2 or both. The default inbound call routes are setup to ring both phone ports.
For outgoing calls, each phone port has its own digit map and outbound call route configuration, which means that you have the full flexibility in allocating trunks for making calls from each port independently. Each port may also have a different primary line assigned; the default however is to set the prmary line to SP1 for both phone ports.
