You won't have to buy new CAL's for R2 but you will have to buy R2 itself. A Server 2008 License key will not activate an instance of R2.

no server 2008 R2 is a different product just like 2003 r2 was a different product than 2003 r2

"just like 2003 r2 was a different product than 2003 r2" ... what? I think you have a spurious "R2" in there :) – Bill Weiss Sep 22 '09 at 21:52
