Technically this may seem to work. However having done this myself in a large environment, it is not a good idea. There are issues that _can_ be over come but are not worth the time, some issues though may always be there. Since your AD account is essentially your mailbox, you need to make sure to have each account associated across this trust (Q278888).
This of course is all fine and good until you need to do something as simple as assign rights to PFs or use delegates. This is because all the users that are in the GAL, are the mailboxes, not the trusted accounts that will be logging in.

The reason E2K requires AD, is because that E2K does not maintain a separate directory like e5.5 does. So, as far as I am concerned, as long as you have an account in AD for every account in NT4, it will work, trust or no trust. (of course, assuming that there is no firewall issues to be worked out between domains.)

Subject: Exch 2k servicing a trusted NT4 network? Had an interesting question posed to me that I have no clue about. Can a Win 2k/ Exch 2k network be setup that would handle the email for clients on a trusted NT4 network? I don't know much about Win 2k networks & AD, other then bits and pieces. but if my understanding is correct, Exch 2k requires AD which an NT network can't provide. Could this be a work around, by trusting an NT net to a Win 2k net?
