Not really, unless you want to convert ALL of your partitions. In
which case you also need a distribution which supports ReiserFS
natively, e.g. the new Mandrake and SUSE if I'm not mistaken. To
convert any (non-root) partition all you need to do is compile ReiserFS
into your kernel, get the tools needed at either of the two places my
cousin mentioned, and create your partition (and destroy all the old
data in it) by using mkreiserfs, and change the type of the partition
in /etc/fstab or otherwise mount it yourself using the correct type.
Converting the root partition is not as simple, and generally requires
a reinstall.
