There is no 100-400 from Nikon. The next would be 80-400 (1570 gr) or 200-500 (2300gr). The Fujinon only has 1375 gr., although "very much metal" feeling. I just don't recall my friend's new 80-400 as well balanced as the Fujinon, but I didn't try it recently. He got his when it just was released and exchanged the old version against it.
Of course, the Nikkors are FF and therefore have to be a bit heavier - and a lightweight body behind the lens also changes the feeling. But my impression (which goes even more for the 150-600 Sports) is, the Nikkors have a lot of weight at the front lens, and when zoomed out, the difference is noticeable.
