In addition to FA, Pentax DSLR's will accept all K-mount lenses including the old manual focus ones (however some issues with older Ricoh Lenses) AND AND AND with a <$20 adapter you can use old m42/screw mount lenses (and keep center weighted stop down metering!)

You can certainly use Pentax FA lenses on Pentax digital SLRs. Samsung, through joint development with Pentax also makes digital SLR's that accept Pentax K Mount lenses. So far, Samsung's DSLRs have been mainly re-badged Pentax DSLRs but that may change in the future.
Pentax has a very interesting DSLR called the K100 that is just hitting the shelves right now, priced at around $6-700 in the U.S. See links below for details.

Pentax digital SLRs WILL accept older Pentax lenses, so you're in luck.
Other brands will not. There may be lens mounts available, but I don't know of any.
Best o' luck!
