In most programming languages it is easy to skip a test in some circumstances. Is there a proper way to do that in haskell HSpec based test suite?
"Changing it to xit marks the corresponding spec item as pending."

If I understand correctly, Core of HSpec doesn't have a special solution for this case. But you can skip tests without verbosity about it. For example:
main = hspec $ do
...
when isDatabaseServerRunning $ do
describe "database" $ do
it "test some one" $ do
...
Another solution maybe to use the function like mapSpecItem_
for changing result of test to Pending
with a message about why was skipped. For example:
skip :: String -> Bool -> SpecWith a -> SpecWith a
skip _ False = id
skip why True = mapSpecItem_ updateItem
where
updateItem x = x{itemExample = \_ _ _ -> return . Pending . Just $ why}
