If they have "EF" in the lens description, it'll work. E.g., "CANON LENS EF 50mm 1:1.8 II".
To what kind of camera are the lenses currently attached? If it's "EOS something" it'll work. If it's something like an AE-1, the no.
Oh, and if they're old and mount on an EOS body but aren't made by Canon, then it's iffy as to whether or not they'll work. A lot of old third-party lenses work only partially if at all on newer cameras because they had to work out the EF mount through trial and error and reverse engineering rather than just looking at the spec sheet.
I'd go with the XTi over the D40, but I'm a biased canonfag. The biggest technical difference between the two is that the XTi can autofocus with fast prime lenses whereas the Nikon D40 can't.
(The D40 doesn't have an internal focus motor, which is how Nikons have focused since the dawn of the autofocus era. Newer lenses are being made with a motor in the lens itself, but a *lot* of the cheap, good lenses out there don't have that yet, leaving you with the choice of sticking with a very limited lens selection or sticking with manual focus only)
Also: Saging for boring gear thread.
