Unless they are AF-S or AF-I lenses they will NOT AF on the D40/D40x/D60/D3000/D5000 DSLR bodies. Those Nikon DSLR bodies do not have a focus motor in the camera body.
The Nikon D90 however does have a focus motor in the camera body so non-AF-S and non-AF-I lenses will AF on it.
The Nikon D90, D300/D300S, D700, D3/S3s/D3x all offer full autofocus and metering capability with those lenses. The D90 and D300 are what Nikon calls "DX" format cameras which means their sensors are smaller than the 24×36mm dimensions of a traditional frame of film. The crop factor is 1.5x or 1.5 times the focal length of the lens which means your 60mm macro will act like a 90mm lens while attached to any DX format Nikon. The D90 is currently running $780 while the D300s costs about $1700.
The D700 and D3 series of cameras are all "FX" format. Their sensors are the same size as the traditional 35mm frame. There is no crop factor with these cameras. So a 60mm macro is a 60mm macro and that 24-50mm zoom really will give you the wide-angles to which you’ve become accustomed. The major downside is the starting price for the D700 is $2700. Roughly double that for a D3s. And if you are thinking of a D3x, it will cost you $7995.
