You can do drop-d tuning or the other tunings mentioned with any set of tuners. However, I assume you mean something like Eddie Van Halen has that allows you to change quickly from drop-d to regular tuning. Musician's friend carries these tuners for a Floyd Rose (TM) style tuning system ($50 apprx)

You'd have to shop around a bit . . . try some places that deal specifically with guitar parts, like

http://www.guitar-parts.com
or http://www.stewmac.com

Hope this helps. Disclaimer: I haven't actually used either companies or any of the products recommended. Test and try before you buy.

Just my 2cents ;-)
