I have the kit lens and the 70-300 Ed zoom. This is what I use mostly for portrait reference. The kit lens I use for snapshots and shooting artwork. Had I to do it over again I would get the 80-200 zoom which costs about 3 times what my 70-300 cost. It's bigger, much heavier but a sharper lens.
It's my understanding that the Tamron isn't all that great, particularly on the telephoto side of things.
You should go to dpreview.com and go to the Nikon D70 forum. You'll see all matters pertaining to this camera discussed here, ad nauseum.
