No.Nikon worst system to mount other lenses, register distance is one of the longest one in 35mm. You can't mount other lenses with infinity support.
You can mount this Konica but your effective usage range will not longer than 50 cm. I tried. You can mount longer Konica lenses and you can use in limited distance for example a 200mm lens to 2-3 m distance.

I used a Nikon M42 adapter + glued tape for testing , if you found a dead Konica body you can take out lens mount. From Nikon M42 adapter+Konica lens mount from body I guess you able to make a permanent one.

Konica 50mm f1.7 or a vivitar with Konica mount availble for 5 EUR , take a risk first with cheaper lenses and convert this beauty if you get experience in lens conversion.
Anyway for 50 EUR you able to take a Nikkor 50mm f1.4 NON_AI lens what is same good than Konica and perfectly usable on your D40.
