I guess rfstool is all that is available. Pre FreeBSD 11 I would kldload reiserfs
mount -t reiserfs -o ro /dev/adaos1 /somewhere
I installed reiserfsprogs and rfstool, both have no maintainer.
I realize reiserfs has been dead as long as mrs. reiser has,
but I still use it some times
Quite ironically, the best way to share files between FreeBSD and Linux without resorting to any types of network shares is via NTFS/VFAT. Another interesting idea is shared ZFS, though I don't have any idea how (in)compatible it is?
I usually use slackware but enjoy messing around with bsd's from time to time. I've never had an issue with reiserfs support prior to FreeBSD 11 amd64. I was curious and installed FreeBSD 10.3 and kldload reiserfs does load the module, but does not in FreeBSD 11
I appreciate FreeBSD, the hard work the developers put into it. radeon and hdmi audio support has evolved well.

Well I got curious and searched the mailing list archives for commits relating to reiserfs:
I thought as much. As others have said, when I need to share the same disk I create an NTFS partition. I installed FreeBSD
on a whim, and it was not necessary to read and write from one to the other. Just thought it was odd that I could not mount
the reiser partition. Over the last few days I've fiddled around with FreeBSD,DragonFLY? OpenBSD and trueos. FreeBSD is still
my favorite.

I am curious why you consider NTFS better than ext2/3 for sharing between FreeBSD and Linux as it does not preserve even the basic *nix attributes?
I use ext2 on multiple systems for shared partitions between FreeBSD and Slackware Linux with no issues.
ext2fs does not support journaling or writing to ext3/ext4 file systems. It is usable however for the purpose of sharing in dual boot.
I'm sure that NTFS has been userspace only mount for a few years however?
Indeed. That is why I prefer an NTFS partition, in a dual-boot scenario between Linux and *BSD.
I need only read/write support and maybe ability to transfer >2GB files. Lately I have been installing
various BSD's in Virtualbox, so file system is not an issue as I use samba.
