The answer is very likely "Yes" you can. However, depending on how old they are, you may loose functions. For example, if your lens is from a film camera, the mount will likely still match and you can add the lens, but it would not auto-focus and you may have to use it in manual-mode (set your own aperature and shutter speed).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If they are F mount lenses, yes, though there are a few limitations. You won't have any auto focus. Metering is also likely to be limited or non-functional depending on the lens. Nikon's got a good support article on it right here: http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14439/kw/lens%20compat/session/L3RpbWUvMTM1MzE3ODAwNi9zaWQvNjVDQ3N3Ymw%3D
