Another possibility might be to upgrade to Samba 4 using:
samba-tool domain samba3upgrade

I am not sure if/how you would migrate them to a Win2k3 server after
that if the Windows box is already set up, but if not, you could
probably just join the Windows box to the Samba 4 box as a DC after
the upgrade and then, if necessary, remove the Samba4 DC from the
domain.

People on the samba-technical list will have more information
regarding Samba 4 and samba-tool domain samba3upgrade.
