i m going to migrate exchange 2000 to 2003 on different hardware. I have a
question that
migration document says when u install 2003 on new hardware choose "Deploy
first exchange 2003 Server" and then "Upgrade from Exchange 2000 Native Mode".
However currently exchange 2000 running on mixed mode. Do we need to change
to native mode first then migrate? or go ahead without doing it on old server?

I will be thankfull

If you have no Exchange 5.5 servers and have no plans to transition
any in then you can switch to Exchange Native.
You can migrate at any point you choose.
