I might suggest making an ext2 partition for /boot just to make
yaboot happy. Or since yaboot needs an HFS partition, you might just
want one HFS partition for yaboot and /boot.

I have not tried it, so I can't really recommend a procedure. Nor
did I
try anything with Reiser and the installer. Obviously Reiser code is
in
the installer as it is the same one used for Intel, but at the time I
was
more concerned with getting proper partition, ext2, and bootstrap
setup
going.
I don't know if yaboot would have any issue or not. You would need
the
reiser modules in your initrd for sure.
If you do decide to experiment, I'd like to hear your results.
