I would think that since you are familiar with Sambar and have a working configuration, that it would be less painful (from a learning standpoint) to simply run Sambar.
I have not seen the 2003 version of the MS Server software yet but I would think that going into the system administration folder of your server you could use the Services tool to stop the IIS server. Other than doing that and stopping the DNS in Samber so that you can use the IIS dns (or SimpleDNS), your Sambar should run. I've been running Windows 2000 Server w/Sambar running as a service for a couple of years, and it works well for me.
