(CODE 9 refers to SLES 9 , CODE 10 to 10.1 / SLES 10).
While a third party kernel module with reiser4 can work, it's not quite the same as if it were in the SUSE kernel. Whenever SUSE will update the kernel (YOU), there's a chance that the third party module will no longer work and the reiser4 filesystem will not be mountable. Suppose the root filesystem is reiser4, that will result in kernel panic "cannot mount rootfs". And since the CD1 from SUSE in rescue mode will not support reiser4, you'd need a driver diskette. I don't have a floppy anymore, can't remember if driver images can be read from usb sticks. Quite a lot of trouble. Enough to drive a good number of people away from testing reiser4. I'll still put up the effort, if there's a rpm with the module.
