Will the lenses from my pentax zx50 work on a Nikon d60?

I have a Pentax zx50 and I have a tokina and a promaster lens and I was wondering if I would fit on a Nikon D60

People bang on about adapters, but I'd forget it. Just replace your lenses when you can.

No. It's a totally different lens mount.
Adapters can be cheap to buy won't give infinity focus without a built-in back focus extender which costs a lot more.
It works with stop-down metering, manual focus.
Aperture priority auto exposure is usually OK on those kind of adapters but no other auto modes.

No, except with an adapter that would make them hard to use (completely manual, with less automation than 35mm cameras have had since the 1950s), and make them have poor image quality.

However, your lenses are completely compatible with any Pentax DSLR. The current entry-level model is the K-r, though it is at the end of its life cycle and a replacement is expected to be announced next month. Here's a review of the K-r:

An earlier Pentax DSLR that was roughly contemporary with the Nikon D60 was the K-m, labelled K2000 in the USA:

The K-m/K2000 has the same 10MP Sony sensor as the Nikon D60, but the K-m/K2000 has less noise (graininess) at high ISO than the D60.
