The Pentax SFXn was an update to the Pentax SFX. Both were sold in the UK.
I assume both your lenses are autofocus models. If so both will work well with any Pentax DSLR. If the lenses are not autofocus, but manual A Series, then they will work well in all modes, except autofocus.

Yes, any pentax Digital camera will work with all Pentax lenses.can these lenses be used with any current or recent Pentax [b]DIGITAL SLR model?
You don't mention which series your old lenses are but from the camera model I'd guess F or FA lenses which are fully compatable.
Older K & M series lenses do not give you electronic control of the aperture but can still be used with 'green button' metering.
Antique M42 screw lenses need an adapter, but otherwise work like the M series.
Edit Drat,Graham beat me to it.
