not a problem for AD or most apps that use it - potentially an issue with scripts that use hardcoded names. 
 
Clients will fail to find their DC that they've last used and will need to do a generic DNS query prior to finding the renamed site again.  Usually no big deal. 
 
If your DFS root servers are Win2000, you'd need to refresh the site data (using dfsutil I believe) - if they're Win2003, they look up site information dynamically and don't care about a rename.
