What exactly does this mean? It means that after that date no more security fixes will be publishes by Red Hat - it literally is unsupported.

What can I look forward to beyond 03/31/03? Upgrade to 7.3. Or be very careful and compile from source. But that will eventually become more and more complicated, because your system has too much old stuff and thus doesn't meet requirements of the new versions.
