It depends what you mean by a 2003 domain.  There are some important
changes when you run adprep /domainprep (the Everyone group change in
particular), but the domain functional level will remain at 0 until all
the DCs in the domain have been upgraded to 2003 and the level is
raised.

Antonio, I would suggest you have a look at this link covering
preparation for installing the first Windows Server 2003 DC in the
domain.

In particular, you should ensure that your 2000 DCs are SP3 or later
(preferably 4).

Tony

Yes, 2000 server can participate in a mixed 2003 domain (or 2000
functional domain).

Once you add a 2003 DC, you'll be running a 2003 domain.
