All netnames are global with regard to the current sheet. Whether or not 
netnames are global in a hierarchical stack of schematics, depends on the 
settings in gnetlistrc. This file can reside in $HOME/.gEDA or locally 
next to the schematics. Defaults are set in system-gschemrc. Copy the 
respective lines to your local gnetlistrc, if you want a different 
behavior. 

There is no way to make individual netnames global (none that I know). 
However, you can differentiate between netnames granted to nets the 
netname attribute and netnames defined by the net attribute. This aims at 
power symbols, which set their net with the net attribute. That way, you 
don't need to hand the power nets in the sub sheet symbols.
