you need lenses with built-in motor if you want AF on the d40.
as to which lenses, google is really your best friend, nikon, sigma and tamron all have great macro lenses to suit your needs. the question is which focal length you want, which mostly has relation with working distance and perspective.
The Tamron 90mm has lots of great reviews.
Of cos Sigma and Tokina also have their fair share of fans.
Just google for the lenses to compare the specs, and then go down to shops to look at the actual lenses.
Fret not, if you use your D40 mainly for marco shoot then it dosen't matter the lens you buy has built-in motor or not, since you'll MF most of the time.
