It's only possible to toggle per language (file type).

I have the problem myself (liking spell checking, but having *.txt  
files with lots of non-prose), so I'll consider what can be done to  
set it on a file basis.

A kludge would be to create a new language grammar with something  
like scopeName set to text.plain.not-prose and associate that with  
your files, by e.g. naming them *.scratch -- that'd make it possible  
to have a specific spell checking setting.

I've made it option-cmd-;, which seems (sort of) consistent with  
having cmd-; do “Check Spelling” (for Cocoa apps at least), and my  
use of option-cmd to “toggle” a setting.
