MATPOWER 4 includes an OPF with zonal reserve constraints. However, these reserve requirements are assumed to be given as input data. To optimize reserve capacity and location you would need to develop your own formulation and algorithm. I'm happy to answer any specific implementation questions related MATPOWER when you get to that point.
