I use Lightroom 5.7.1 on Windows 7 and I'm considering a Nikon D810 with Nikon 20mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.8, and 85mm f/1.8 lenses. Lightroom appears to have profiles for these lenses. When I import photos, will Lightroom automatically detect the lens and apply the correct profile correction, or do I need to enable it manually? If it must be enabled manually, is there a way to have Lightroom apply lens corrections during import?

No, not automatically. If you select to manually apply the lens correction, it will use the right one automatically - assuming it has the profile for that particular lens.
One option is to create a developer preset that applies the lens correction, and use this preset during the importing process. This way, all the imported photos will have the right lens correction applied, but nothing else.
Let me know if it's not clear enough and I'll try to take some screenshots of my setup ;-)

Not by default. Lightroom can read the lens information and, when you enable profile-based lens corrections, it will usually select the correct profile automatically if that lens profile exists.
If you want this applied to every import, create a Develop preset with lens profile corrections enabled and apply that preset during import. That way Lightroom will add the appropriate correction automatically for each supported lens without changing other settings.
