Yes, my hammies respond similarly well to walking hills... anything that gets you to flex your leg repeatedly and with resistance (i.e. gravity) does. Results: my butt seems a little more defined where it meets the back of my leg. And I feel stronger when cycling up hills!

As Caligurl suggested, deadlifts work well, too, though I find they seem to work my butt more than my hams. For hams specifically, I sometimes do an exercise with a Swiss Ball, here's a link that demonstrates it well:

Or if you do yoga at all, the bridge or half-bridge pose is also a really good ham burner (builder), especially if an instructor makes you hold it for awhile! Here's an illustration of full bridge:
