Yes, this is different from the kernel ntfs driver, it is based on fuse, rather than a direct kernel driver, although they are both developed by this project.

Alan, you can use the ntfs3g fuse driver, from linux-ntfs.org, portage has it as sys-fs/ntfs3g, it has full read-write support for most aspects of ntfs. You will have to soft-unmask it though,
echo sys-fs/ntfs3g ~x86 >> /etc/portage
You can then mount it with the command
ntfs3g /dev/sda4 /mnt/winmnt

If you want read-only support for reiserfs, under windows,http://p-nand-q.com/e/reiserfs.html is a good command line tool, although freshmeat has several gui items listed based on this.
good luck.

Still, use with caution and read the wiki first!
    

Is this different then the ntfs support in the kernel?  I've used the
kernel ntfs without problem (reading and writing) despite the disclaimers.
The only weird problem I've seen is that sometimes the partition doesn't
get umounted properly and it wants a chkdsk when I boot windows[1].
