I had my sync issue back on Cubase SX, so I would think Cubase 4 will be OK.
My settings for a "2 kick drums" test in Cubase 5 are:

Menu: Transport/"Project Synchronisation Setup" then under "MIDI Clock
Destinations" set the P3 port. I have "Always Send Start Message" ticked,
but nothing else selected in the "MIDI Clock Destinations" area. Also, I
have absolutely nothing selected in the "MIDI Timecode Destinations" area.
Finally, "Use External Sync" is unchecked in the "Transport" menu.

In the arrange window, I have a Cubase track assigned to P3 input, with the
track output routed to a MIDI synth and the P3 pattern with just a kick
drum. (I route the P3 output back through Cubase so I can record the P3 MIDI
when playing). A second track with a kick drum MIDI, output to a different
MIDI synth kick drum.

The result of this (for me) is 2 kick drums perfectly in sync across any
tempo I select, using either the tempo track or fixed tempo.

However, I was just wondering whether one of your kick drums is coming from
a VSTi? This could introduce audio/MIDI latency as the possible cause of
your sync problem?
