Heh, I'll just go ahead and answer my own question... I figured the 
drive was a test drive anyway, so I went ahead and fired up ReiserFS 
3.6 on it:

# mkreiserfs /dev/discs/disc1/part1
mkreiserfs 3.6.13 (2003 www.namesys.com)
Guessing about desired format.. Kernel 2.6.2 is running.
Format 3.6 with standard journal
Initializing journal - 0%....20%....40%....60%....80%....100%
Syncing..ok

I guess it's okay, then, to use a 3.6 series ReiserFS under a 2.6.2 
kernel. :)
