> Is it possible to set the global version of an option using a modeline?
I don't think so. ":help modeline-local" says:
The options are set like with ":setlocal": The new value only
applies to the buffer and window that contain the file.
Although it's possible to set global options from a modeline,
this is unusual.
Setting a global option is not the same thing as setting the global
value of an option.

You could use autocommands such as these in your .vimrc to set
whatever options you want.
au BufRead TODO set option1=value1 option2=value2
au BufRead /path/to/project/** setlocal option1=value1 option2=value2
The first sets the global values of options whenever TODO is opened;
the second sets the local values of options for any file opened
under /path/to/project.
