You say you want to do the clean in the model but then say you want the error to be associated with the field in the ModelForm? If you need that clean functionality to exist for both a model and a form of that model then you could shift the checks into a function of it's own out side of the class's then have a clean in both the model and the form which calls the function to do the checks before deciding how to raise the error.
The issue is that a form and a model use validation errors in different ways. A form will send errors back to the templating layer to show to a user but a model doesn't work like that as it would only be manipulated directly in python code. Does that make sense?
