Most of us would agree about R2 designations. Especially those of us who deal with UNIX / Linux machines a lot.
On the specific question - there's no reason at all that you can't install Unix ID Mgmt on your Server 2k3 R2 server, assuming it's a DC. And your clients will work as expected.
On using SFU - that is supported and does work, if you'd prefer that option. I've done it, but mostly prefer to keep everything I don't absolutely have to have on the SBS box off of it. Since you have an option here, I'd go with that.

Please help...
<rant> It is very confusing that Microsoft releases Server 2003 R2, and SBS
Server 2003 R2, and the "R2" is different between the versions... For many
years Microsoft's mantra has been "SBS Server 2003" IS THE SAME as "Server
2003"... I guess that changes with R2... </rant>
Anyway, on with my question: I need to integrate "Identity Management for
Unix" onto my SBS 2003 R2 based network. As I understand it, I CANNOT
install Identity Management for Unix on SBS, as there is technically no such
thing for SBS. Or is there??
If I have another member server (that is of course R2, is a DC within my
domain, and obviously my AD schema has been extended appropriately to allow
an R2 member server), and I install Identity Management for Unix on it, will
I be able to have the Unix stuff (specifally Server for NIS) work across the
infrastructure?
Will my AD Schema be messed up? It would seem that I would be able to have
the extensions loaded into AD, and properly replicated even if I can't manage
the Unix properties from the SBS AD MMC console...
Alternatively, I could use the Services for Unix (SFU), and NOT THE R2
features.. that changes things on the Unix side though, so I'm not sure this
is a better approach... can SFU be run on SBS?
Thoughts??
