How much play in driveshaft?
is there a certain amount of play (if any) thats acceptable for the driveshaft to be turned while the truck is off and in park?

Yes and no. There will always be a bit of play internally in the tranny and rear, but if there's play at the U-joints - ANY play - that's not acceptable.
