The easiest way to use out of camera flashes is to use wireless radio triggers, like the professional Pocket Wizards or cheaper Chinese made triggers like the Cactus.
When wireless radio triggers are not an option it is worth remembering the Nikon CLS system which uses a commander flash to control a group of remote flashes using pre flashes emitted before the shutter opens.
Most Nikon cameras with a pop-up flash (D80,D90,D200,D300,D700 surely) can enable commander mode to control a group of remote flashes. The SB-800 speedlight can also be used in commander mode.
Just one thing to remember is that the remote flashes need to receive the pre-flashes and that the small sensor is situated on one side, near the battery compartment.
