Something like that. There may be other options too.

I'd get istDS (used) or K2000 (new) body, SMCP DA 16-45/F4 (used from marketplace , you can get them if you lucky at @ $200 and used MF portrait lens of your choice 85 or 105 mm.
Tamron 28-75mm is a great lens too, I am just not sure where can you find inexpensive wide angle prime lens. DA 16-45 F4 is covering wide angle very nicely it is very sharp even at F4.
