Nikon screens for the D1 and D2 series do not have any focussing aids in the way of microprism or split image. There is a focus confirmation light in the viewfinder that does the same thing though. I use M/F Nikkors on my D2X all the time with no probs. The D1X has the previous incarnation of A/F sensor - Multicam 1300 which is still a step up from that in the D200 so I cannot see you having a problem there.
500mm Reflex Nikkor would give aperture priority and manual on the D1X. D100 will not give any metering with this lens. Sorry.
