I just got a D40x. It's my first SLR/DSLR, so the need to use AF-S lenses isn't a problem since I'm starting from zero. If I decide to move up, they'll work on other Nikons. I think there's a fair range of AF-S lenses, with more being added all the time. If you get a kit, consider upgrading the standard 18-55mm to a VR version. Add a 55-200mm VR lens ($204 from US1Photo.com), and you're ready to go. You won't have f/1.8 capability, but those lenses can be pretty expensive, AF-S or otherwise.
