I have a chance to pick up a used Pentax *ist DSLR 6.1 megapixel camera. There are about 21,000 shutter clicks the person tells me (a friend, so I tend to trust them). He isn't selling a lens with it, so I would need a lens - for about a hundred bucks. Do these cameras tend to last a while and would this be a good starter DSLR?

You can get a decent *ist with kit lens for less than $150 on eBay. I still shoot my DL, which was converted to IR, but I would suggest you get something with better sensor and AF.
