You mean like this:
-*- mode: outline -*-
There are two methods of doing this. In the first one, Emacs reads the first line of the file, looking for file variables to set. One of them is the mode to use for the file (in this case outline-mode). The line can start with anything, so a comment character can be used.
The page Specifying File Variables gives more information on how to use them.
