Ubisoft today confirmed that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 will arrive on GameCube this June.  It appears that the GCN version will be based on the PS2 version (just like Splinter Cell), as the press release mentions 15 total missions (as opposed to the Xbox's 14) and a split-screen mode.  Additionally, online play and voice recognition will likely not be supported in the GCN version.  Here's Ubisoft's press release:
