You could create a package specification in the Program Units section of the Report. You don't have to have a body or any procedures/functions defined for the package. You should be able to access and set any of the variables that you define in the spec from almost anywhere in the report triggers or other program units.
You could define something like the package below and reference the variables by using the <package>.<object> notation (i.e. Rpt_Pkg.cMyChar or Rpt_Pkg.nMyNum)
PACKAGE Rpt_Pkg
IS
cMyChar VARCHAR2(30);
nMyNum NUMBER;
END Rpt_Pkg;
Hope this helps,
