Thanks Mike,
I hadn't captured the patch output originally, so I cleaned up, and
re-installed the source and re-patched. The output is attached here as
patch.out, but a cursory read-through says every patch applied OK.
Other answers to your questions are in-line.
Thanks!

1) Start with clean install of centOS 4.1 x86_64 version
2) Install kernel sources from centOS distro
3) Patch sources:
a) in /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-11.EL
b) run: patch -p0 < reiser4-for-2.6.9-4
NOTE - is this my complete problem right here? Are the differences
between 2.6.9-11 and 2.6.9-4 significant enough to account for this?
In theory, they shouldn't be... but are all the hunks applying
correctly? If any fail, they must be applied by hand, or something
breaks.
None of the patches appeared to fail. See the attached patch.out
file.
4) make menuconfig - enabling reiser4 as a module
What happens when done builtin? Also, do you have something like 4k
stacks built in that weren't supported in the 2.6.9 patch?
I'm not sure. The only option I touched in the config that wasn't a
default was to make sure that the reiser4 module was being built, and
that it was a module.
5) make
6) make binrpm-pkg
7) Install the resultant RPM
8) run mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-11.ELcustom.img 2.6.9011.ELcustom
9) Update grub.conf:
title CentOS-4 x86_64 Resier (2.6.9-11.ELcustom)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.ELcustom ro root=LABEL=/1
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.ELcustom.img
10) reboot, and select the custom kernel
11) Run mkfs.reiser4
Where the heck does this come from? I didn't see you install any resier4 tools.
What version of resier4 tools are you using?
You're right - I skipped a couple of steps that I went through here.
I'm running reiser4progs-1.0.5, and libaal-1.0.5. I configured and
built and installed each of these with no errors. The mkfs.reiser4
also ran with no errors.
12) run modprobe reiser4, or just try to mount the new file system
