Ora2Pg doesn't export global variable and any other element declared
outside a package body. If you want to know how thoses variables was
created under Oracle you can simply ask to Ora2Pg to export the source
code of the packages. You will get the entire package declaration. To
proceed set the PLSQL_PGSQL configuration directive to 0 and perform a
PACKAGE export into a different directory:
ora2pg -c config/ora2pg.conf -t PACKAGE -b path/to/sources/ -o
pkgsrc.sql
or if the directive is already disabled remove do not use the -p option.

As Adrian says, there's no equivalent with PostgreSQL. You will need to
use custom variable in postgresql.conf or a table to store your global
information.
