I really can't answer your question, since it hasn't been done yet. But I'd think that a reasonable GM player with a strong computer helping would have a good chance against Kasparov. But the computer would eliminate a few tactical errors... and not the deep positional mistakes a weaker GM would likely make. It is _very_ difficult to 'communicate' with a computer at present. You can say "try this move" but that is it. You can't ask 'if I do this, will my d5 square become permanently weak?' That is the problem. You can get tactical analysis on a move you want to try, although it might not be 'deep enough'... but little else. Is that plus a GM's knowledge sufficient? I'm not sure... Ingo Althofer's experiments are slightly different, taking more than one program to suggest the best move and then choosing between them, or having the computer suggest the 2-3 best possible moves and then choosing one of those. But Kasparov would be a tough nut to crack...
