The mechanism for global preferences is the same, but some of the  
defaults have changed between OmniWeb 2 and OmniWeb 3.  In  
particular, any preferences defined by a framework rather than  
OmniWeb itself now has a two-letter prefix indicating the framework.

You can find the default values of all of the preferences by looking  
through the "OFUserDefaults" registrations located in the  
Info-nextstep.plist files of the application, the frameworks, and the  
bundles.

Alternatively, you can just set your defaults using the standard  
Preferences interface, use "defaults read OmniWeb" to find out how  
those settings are named, then transfer those values to global  
defaults in NetInfo or defaults files.

OmniWeb 3 searches for defaults files in the following locations:

    ~/Library/OmniWeb.defaults
    /Local/Library/OmniWeb.defaults
    /Network/Library/OmniWeb.defaults
    /System/Library/OmniWeb.defaults
    /LocalLibrary/OmniWeb.defaults
    /NextLibrary/OmniWeb.defaults

Hope this helps!
