It depends on the body. There is a compatibility matrix in the user guide, downloadable from:
Nikon | Download center | D90
The quick take is that the D90 has broad support for all AF and CPU Nikkor lenses and more limited support for non-CPU AI/AI-converted glass. Non-AI lenses are not supported. AI non-CPU lenses are limited to M mode with manual focus. I did not spend enough time with the user guide to determine if stop-down metering is an option, though focus confirmation (e.g. electronic rangefinder) is supported.
Sounds like a great camera

Welcome to the Pentax Forums! Were we quick enough?
