Err, investigating whether upstream supports reiser would have been a good first move.
Well, shouldn't the setup program not bark about this? I installed CentOS yesterday on a system that had been running reiserfs as well. The partition helper (disk druid or what it is) showed it and didn't indicate I should not setup on it. Luckily, I wanted to wipe and format with ext3, anyway. F.i. if you choose a /boot partition lower than 75 MB (I used 50 MB) setup will sound a warning.
I believe if you choose ext2 vs ext3, the size of 75mb will be fine. "ext3" needs some extra space for the journeling factor. For /boot one needs no journeling anyway, it's not a rw item, virtually a "read-only" partition.
