You are talking about using SID history which is slightly different.  Using
SID history mean that groups or users will have the same SID in either
domain.  Citrix uses the SID rather then the names of groups as should most
apps.  If you are simply moving apps or servers form one domain to another
without using SID history, then the same group name in each domain will have
a different SID, and you will have to repermission any resources so they use
the new SID.

What we recently ran into is groups were migrated from one domain to another
keeping the SID. Worked great for access to shares/folders based on group
membership, totally didn't work with published apps access based on group
membership. Perhaps it does track SIDs, but based on the behavior that we
observed it certainly didn't fly with migrating across domains.

I'm not sure that statement is right.
 
If you rename a group in AD it will update it to the new name in the CMC on
published apps.  Therefore it must be using the SID.  Best way is to test
it.... 
 
You can have a farm in multiple domains at once.  You obviously just need to
be careful with permissioning the right resources from each domain.  
 
I have seen issues with RM that is split between domains (an NT4 domain and
an AD domain) where not everything works.  Such as, you lose the ability to
run some reports in the CMC based on group membership and you must run it
only individual user accounts instead. 
 
Hope this helps

As far as published apps go, Citrix only looks at account names/group names
- SIDs mean nothing. As long as the domain and te usernames remain the same
it shouldn't be an issue.

to migrate a complete citrix farm to a new AD forest?  There will be trusts
between forests.  The farm is not yet productional, so it can take a few
hick-ups. 
 
 
 Currently all the infrastructure pieces are 4.0 but the PS servers are 3.0
with SP 2005.04.
 
Thanks!
