Yes, there will be problems. The Parent Root DC must be upgraded first,
especially the Domain Name Master, which is usually the first DC installed
in the forest (which is also your Schema master). If not, it will cause
issues with DNS zone replication scopes in 2003 because of the mismatch.

Once you upgrade that box, then you can upgrade the others, but keep in
mind, absolutely keep the rep scope to be compatible with 2000 until ALL the
DC/DNS servers have been upgraded. You may also need to re-configure or
create the delegated _msdcs zone in the Forest Root DC DNS server. More info
on that here:
