There is really nothing special in the config of MBGP between a Cisco
and a Juniper. Just configure a standard BGP session on the Juniper and
specify 
neighbor ww.xx.yy.zz {
    family inet {
        any;
    }
}

Or you may specifically invoke the protocols to be allowed:
    family inet {
        unicast;
        multicast;
    }

The fact that it is a reflector client is generally relevant to the
reflector server, but not the client.

As always, make sure that the next-hop is actually reachable by IGP,
static or (most commonly) direct connection. Make sure MTU is
consistent. Determine if synchronization is desired, esp. on the Cisco
end. All the stuff you would do for a vanilla IPv4 unicast peering.
