Hi David, I have some HRTF's that I have measured myself which are publicly available. Also, the CIPIC data base (from Algazi and Duda's group) has about 30-40 subjects. The HRTFs aren't really generic but what some people do is that they listen to couple of them and pick the one that works best. Some people also use the HRTF's of a mannequin called KEMAR (included in CIPIC also). You can find my database at http://www.isr.umd.edu/Labs/NSL/ under downloads. I know there are some more data bases out there but I don't have the info.
