This can happen in most cars in reverse because the reverse gear is not syncronized as are the forward gears. If you push the clutch in and very quickly shift into reverse, you will get a clunk as the still spinning gears are brought together. A remedy for this problem is to give a second or two between disengaging the clutch and shifting into reverse. if no clunk, you're OK. You can also stop the gears from spinning in the gearbox by shifting into a forward gear first, then reverse without releasing the clutch.
The other post was on the right track regarding the clutch dragging. If you still get the clunk, the clutch is dragging, that is, it is not disengaging the gearbox completly from the engine. If this is the case, you need to have the clutch adjusted or bled. Check that the pedal goes all the way to the floor, with no floor mats or anything holding it up.
