though I do not run win2000 servers(i banned them in my company),
I have read that  you could do this if you use samba's winbind (provided
it is supported on freebsd, i think it is), and provided your win2000 server
has NT compadiblity mode enabled. samba will not function in an
active-directory-only enviornment last i read.

another thing you could do is setup samba as a PDC and have them
join the samba domain, I am working with this on samba-tng and openldap
now.
