I'm not an expert, but I've seen similar requests elsewhere. The oft-quoted process involves:

1. Configure the Windows 2008 server as a DC
2. Let it replicate from the Windows 2003 server
3. Transfer over the 5 FSMO roles to the Windows 2008 server
4. Demote the Windows 2003 server

I don't have any references to hand but know that there are many articles about it on the 'net.
