If your asking what version
If your asking what version of ghost can image a Windows 2000 PC, then the current one. Truth is Ghost doesn't care what OS it is imaging, it only cares what file system the HDD is formated in. You can ghost Windows 95 or Windows 7.
If your asking what OS the Ghost client can run on, I have it on a few Windows 2000 PC's and I am able to ghost them fine from the console.
Maybe tell us a little more on what your trying to do?

Personally I would rather Ghost the image, use Ghost Explorer to pull out the users files they may need. Then install Windows XP and copy the files over. This way you get a clean setup.
Actually even better may be the Symantec User Migration that comes with GSS 2.5. I have not ran this in Windows 2000 but if it works thats what I would do.
Either way ghost can very easily handle this.
Excellent. Thanks for the
