As much as I normally don't like aftermarket lenses

I really like the Tamron 90 2.8 Macro. Doubles as a great relatively fast portrait lens on an APS-C sensor camera. Plus it gives you a little more room to work for the full 1:1 macro than the 60. I've seen it for about $450 and Tamron often offers rebates. So for a moderately priced alternative to the $500 nikon 60 or the superior $800 Nikon 105 VR Macro it is something to consider.
If you want to get serious closeups and don't mind shortening your minimum focus distance to nothing, you can always go with the very inexpensive extension tubes. A set of three Kenko tubes is less than $170. (don't worry about aftermarkets for tubes as there is no glass element to worry about)

Wow. So $600 is considered "entry level camera" here? *NM*
