I would use a namespace for global constants which are not very strongly associated with a single class. In the latter case, I would put them in that class.
Really global (application-level) constants should be in the application’s namespace (provided your application is inside it’s own namespace, as it should be). For module-level constants, the module’s own namespace is the natural place.
