What will a rejection message look like? Specifically what will the
5.X.X code be? Can the remote server admin specify the message that is
sent back?
Thanks!

I'm not certain I understand the question.
If your domain does not have an SPF record, you should never get a
rejection because of SPF. SPF is purely optional, but does have
benifits if you are concerned about your domain being forged.

I am sending mail from domain.com to destination.com. Destination.com
will look up domain.com to see if there is a SPF record. If no reocrd is
found, what does destination.com do? Drop the seesion? Send a NDR or
DSN? Turf the message? Queue the message?
Strictly speaking that may vary depending on the receiver policy. SPF is
optional and, although more widely deployed than other anti-forgery
technologies, is not yet generally deployed. I don't think that it is very
likely that anyone would do anything other than accept the message and
subject it to whatever processing they normally do (anti-virus,
spamassassin, etc.).
