Can you group all the constants in a module?  Something like this:

module Puppet

   module Constants
     Constant1 = 42
     Constant2 = Constant1 * 42
   end

   module OSAL			
     module Type
     end
   end

   class OSAL::Type::User
     include Constants		# Now the constants can be used unqualified

     puts Constant1
   end

   class OSAL::Type::User2
     include Constants		# Now the constants can be used unqualified

     puts Constant2
   end
end
