Welcome to the Pentax Forums!
Can you use your dSLR lenses?
It depends on the lens. If the lens lacks an aperture ring you will be limited to shooting either fully stopped down or fully open. (You did say AUTO Bellows M?) As for the camera settings...Yes, M mode will work as will Av mode. M mode will give you more accurate metering if you have a recent model body (e.g. K-x, K-7 or newer). The main issue is remembering to stop down the lens for both exposure and metering. Unfortunately the dual cable release for your bellows does not help much since the dSLR bodies don't support a traditional cable release.
Here is a thread on this site regarding usage of your bellows:

P.S. In case you don't have the manual for your bellows, it is available for download HERE. The password is "Pentax".
