There might be some problems with the endianness of the system.

I have tested Reiser4 on 32bit PowerPC several years ago and as far as I
remember, mounting and using a preformatted partition (mkfs done on an x86
machine) was possible, but a partition formatted on PowerPC was unusable.
I can repeat the tests, if you are interested.
