Sunroofs were never a factory option on the second gens (I think only the fifth gens come factory with a sunroof) anyways your best bet would be to get in touch with a reputable shop that installs aftermarket sunroofs and see if they can order you something.

If by chance you can carefully remove a piece of the gasket, then you can get a cross sectional view of it and compare it to what is available in newer products. The seals used in sunroofs are a injection molded dense foam, and there are companies that extrude this stuff for various applications. You can buy just about anything once you determine the shape. Some of the universal trunk weatherstripping might even work.
Most the sunroofs used hollow foam, so it compresses and seals easier. Take a look at O'Reillys, or Autozone, etc. as they both carry universal foam, once you know what you have with a cut from your's:
