A user-choice such as "big", "even bigger", "quite large", "monstrous big" and "default", where default is the size you specified ???
I guess: no
since every file has a body tag you can set font size in the body CSS so yes there is a way to set a global font size.

ePub and its predecessor OEB has 7 font sizes that are supposed to be supported. They need to be called: xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large. If the eBook reader doesn't support all these sizes it can reuse a size it does support. A font size set to larger will go to the next larger font in this set of 7 and a font size set to smaller will go down the list.

However, it is likely better not to specify a font size and let the user choose.
