Nope. You can not combat squad while in reserves, only when you deploy. The most recent FAQ's addresses the Drop pod part exactly.

From without, the Imperium is assailed by alien monsters from the depths of space, nightmare death-machines and soulless daemons (as well as soulless death-machines and nightmare daemons, and the occasional soulless daemon in a nightmare death machine). |

Same story:
The Squad cannot split until the "entire" squad hits the table. At least that has been my understanding.

Jihallah - you combat squad when you deploy.
If you have a read of the reserves rules it states you place things into reserve instead of deploying; as you havent deployed you CANNOT combat squad.

What we are going with, and this is after actually chatting to the guy who wrote the new GW FAQ last Friday evening so we know his intention, is that you only decide to combat squad when a unit is deployed on the board.
The Grand Tournament (GW UK) FAQ now reads:
Q. 65. When do squads count as being deployed for the purposes of deciding whether or not to split units into combat squads?
Players must declare if a unit is splitting into combat squads when it does one of the following:
1. When it is deployed on the board during set up.
2. When it moves onto the board on turn 1 in the Dawn of War scenario.
3. When you successfully roll to bring it on the board from reserves, deepstriking or outflanking.
4. When it disembarks from a Drop Pod.
Please remember that in cases 1,2 & 3, as per the official GW FAQ’s, you may not be split into a combat squad and have both squads inside the same transport
