There is no port for vmware3 on freebsd.  If you are asking
questions like "what is insmod?", it is not likely that you
will have an easy time getting this linux program (with it's
fingers into linux system internals) running on your freebsd
system.

I would like to see vmware3 on freebsd, but I do not know
enough to figure out the programming/porting issues involved.
