I have a D300 (and the new D700) and the two I would recommend are the 16-85mm VR II and the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR.
The 16-85 is a great lens for the price (approx $600) and the 70-200 is a pro-level, awesome lens. If your budget prohibits the latter (approx $1,700) then I'd go for the new 70-300mm VR II (approx $500). Between that and the 16-85, you would have an equivalent of 24-450mm, which should be more than enough.
Their pro glass has better weather sealing and if $ is not an issue I'd go with their 24-70mm and the 70-200mm.
The other option, for max flexability would be the 80-400, to go with the 16-85. More money and a little dated as their lenses go but still excellent glass, with VR.
While I haven't used it, the new Tamron 28-300, with VC might be a one lens, do all option for you.
Best of luck!
