Usually it's more like a whine than a clunk. The whine changes in pitch with speed change. It will diminish when you apply the brakes as the brake shoes will take some of the load off the bearing. You will also notice that the hub gets very hot.
A clunk makes me think of a bad bushing. Also check that the bolts holding the axle flange to the diff haven't worked loose. If it does turn out to be the bearing, make sure that the shop has the proper tool so that the hub doesn't get bent trying to get it off.
