Hi Bill, 

it depend on the problem. Ifthe 2d problem can be transformed to a
rectangular domain 

f[t,x]=Sum[ c[i,j] p[j,t] g[j,x], {i,0,n1},{j,0,n2}]

(notice the product form of the basis function) thats the
way how partial differential equations solved by Fourier expansion.

If you can't get a rectangular domain

f[t,x]=Sum[c[i,j] b[i,j,t,x],{i,0,n1},{j,0,n2}]

will be more general. How ever you will have problems to
find an orthogonal basis b[i,j,t,x].

Hope that helps
  Jens
