+ same long hang, no shutdown for a couple of minutes.
+ I installed UPHClean (User Profile Hive Cleanup Service) - see this MSKB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837115
and the download from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/8/7/a87b3d05-cd04-4743-a23b-b16645e075ac/UPHClean-Setup.msi
After installation, shutdown was quick but UPHClean logged a forced key closure.
+ I ran UPHClean in reporting mode; you need to set the following DWORD value in the registry to 1 and restart the service:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\UPHClean\Parameters\REPORT_ONLY
(this info is in the readme:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/8/7/a87b3d05-cd04-4743-a23b-b16645e075ac/readme.txt
)
It identified the slow shutdown culprit as winvnc, locking the user's HKCU\Software\ORL key.

I'm running Windows 2000 Professional SP4 with RealVNC 4 running as a service.
When I shut down the PC, it logs off as expected and then for several /minutes/ waits with the blue/green desktop colour before switching off. During this delay, the logoff window has disappeared, leaving me all alone but for a mouse pointer :-)
If I stop the VNC service, then shut down the PC it will power off in under 30 seconds. Power back up, log on and then try to shut down again, the several-minute delay happens again.
Can you reproduce this on another machine?
How old is this install of win2k?
How long has this happened?
Did it happen with VNC 3.3.7?
Does it happen when you log out and then shutdown?
Did you try updating your video drivers?
