I'm not claiming to be an expert on this, but...
After this last round of updates, I created a fresh Office 2003 administrative install point, then integrated SP2 and all the latest updates, then ran an administrative reinstall of Office 2003, and came up with no updates at Office Update.
I used batch files to update the install point. Here's the code that worked for me (OFFICE2003 is location for install point, OfficeUpdates is location for updates):

The required updates are listed above - many old updates have been superseded and are no longer needed.
Code for reinstall:
CODE
msiexec /i d:\Install\OFFICE2003\PRO11.MSI REINSTALL=all REINSTALLMODE=vomus
Office Update shows no updates needed. I'd say as long as Office Update says no updates needed, you're in the clear...of course, Microsoft Update will probably still try to install the updates unless you tell it not to...
