Go to nikonshuttercount.com and upload a jpg photo and it will tell you the number of actuations your shutter has.

It's included in the Exif data on every image.
So, any Exif reader will give that to you.
OR, there are a number of websites (like ShutterCount) that will take an image and spit back the shutter count.
A Google search of "shutter counts for nikon" brought up 426,000 hits. There were 4 suitable sites on the first page.

Thanks, per this site, my Nikon D300 has a tad over 40,000 clicks and has used approx 27 percent of it's useful life. I was a bit surprised. I thought it would have been more.

Here are a lot of links.

Get Irfanview (free) and also get the plug-ins for it. Start the program, open a photo, click on Image > Information > Exif info.
Get ExifInfo - also free. Unzip and get the icon onto the Desktop. Find a photo and drag it onto the icon. A window will open with loads of info. Look down the list for Shutter Count (or whatever they call it).

The on line free program Picasa shows your Nikon's shutter count.

More importantly, what does it really mean. E.g., is 4000 a dangerously high number of shutter activations if you are buying a used camera? Or is 10,000? What significance does the statistic have?

Well, it gives you an idea how much the camera has been used. While a worn out shutter can be replaced, if the camera has taken 200,000 photos, it's probably been used to the point that you would want to replace the whole thing, rather than just the shutter. A car with 200,000 miles can have the engine rebuilt, but what kind of shape is the rest of the car in?
Top DSLRs are tested to 150,000 - 200,000 clicks. If I were buying a used camera, I'd look for one with under 5,000 clicks. I've bought used on ebay with between 343 and 2200 - like new. One used D70 I bought had 44,000 activations, and it worked fine.

I did that for both of my cameras. The D200 worked the D7000 did not. Could that be due to the D7000 being factory refurbished?

Nope. Try using a different program to get the count - and a different JPEG image. I've used several programs on both a D7000 and D7100, and I always got a count, even on refurbs.

Did you edit the file first? Some times saving the file can clear the EXIF information which stores the shutter count.
