You could try putting the following in your init file:

   (make-variable-buffer-local 'org-hide-emphasis-markers)

and then use a file-local variable setting. It should be enough to 
do:

# org-hide-emphasis-markers: t

There shouldn't be a need for `eval` in this case.

If that approach doesn't work (I don't see why it wouldn't 
though), you could try the following in your local variable block:

# eval: (set (make-local-variable 'org-hide-emphasis-markers) t)
