df -i does not work for reiserfs, at least under Debian 3.0.
For example, the following partition is actually more than 10% 
full.

Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1            4294967295       0 4294967295    0% /home/archive

However, it also sounds like there is little to no chance of a
reiserfs-specific fast approximate file counter that will work on a
directory subtree, even if that subtree is very wide and shallow.
