Lee,
"relatively cheap" and "any good" are usually fairly exclusive terms when it comes to photographic equipment.
I'd second Alex's suggestion for tubes if you want macro on the cheap. If you want a general purpose long lens then see my first comment. You could buy something 2nd hand and flog it on when you can afford something better.
Any cheap long lens is going to be quite slow, and not the best quality either wide open or at the extremes of its zoom range.
You could look around for an old manual focus prime that would be cheap, but check that it can work with your body first. that'll give you quality on the cheap, but you'll have to work a bit harder for it. There's a thread somewhere written by Don Hoey (where are you these days Don?) "The ins and outs of the Nikon lens system", or something like that.
