It isn't the default yet, but it isn't at all hidden.  You can easily select
it from the standard graphical install screens.  I think you even have a
choice on a standard screen you normally see on 7.0.  Of course, we have
some of the ReiserFS team on staff at SuSE, so we're in reasonably good
shape when it comes to ReiserFS issues.
