You might depending on the number and complexity of the situation want to just setup a 2003 domain and migrate everything to it if you don't want to just do the 2008 and have done with it. A 2000 to 2003 move is pretty painless as is the 2003 to 2008 but you need to watch the details. Linux and Mac's don't play well in a "pure" native 2003 domain you will have to make changes to the domain to allow them to play well.
