According to

    :help modeline

Vim allows only certain options to be set in a modeline, for
security reasons.

Here's something you might try.

Put one of the following lines at the bottom of each of your .tex
files:

% TTarget latex

or

% TTarget pdflatex

Put the following in your ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/tex.vim file.

    let compiler = matchstr(getline("$"), '^% TTarget \zs.*')
    if compiler != ''
        " Execute whatever command will set TTarget according to the
        " value of compiler.  I don't understand vim-latex-suite
        " well enough to know what goes here.
    endif

HTH,
Gary
