I'm interested in tiling my kitchen that sits on a pier and beam
foundation. Being somewhat heavy, I'm concerned about using porcelain tile.
Do I need to reinforce the floor and what does that entail? The bathrooms
are reinforced if that tells you anything.

I do not see a problem but better safe than sorry in any case.. Pole
buildings can be just a as stable as any other when properly
constructed. Check to see how the bath was braced and follow that
example.
