What about:
Create a new ext2 partition on the end of the free space, mount it 
temporary and copy everything over from the old ext2 partition (use 
tar or cp -a to preserve permissions).

After that, delete the old ext2 partition:
you'd have

ext2 | reiser | free space | ext2

You should now be able to grow the reiser partition (I hope :-) )...

I would not recommend using PQMagic... I don't think it'll recognise 
the reiser partition...

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with surprise...
