The 1.5 multiplication factor goes for all of Nikon's lenses, including Nikon's DX (made for digital) lenses. It also goes for all third party lenses when used on a Nikon dSLR.
The focal length of lenses is still indicated as it's always been. The multiplication factor is due to Nikon dSLR cameras having a sensor that's 1.5x smaller than a frame of 35mm film.
(I use a D200 with a variety of old and new lenses.)

1st answer is correct, you have to multiply when you compare against a film camera.

As the others said. The 1.5X focal length multiplier applies to any of ther Nikon SLRs. 35mm film has a focal plane size of 24x36 mm. The Nikon SLRs are approximately 16x24 mm.

Note that the 1.5X factor wouldn't apply if Nikon ever produced a "full-frame" digital SLR. So far only Canon has this with their Mk II series. Cough up $8K+ and one can be yours too.
