You didn't mention whether you were using the port. If you were, and your
system wasn't suitable for running vmware, "make" would warn you:
.if ${OSVERSION} < 400013
BROKEN= "Systems prior to 400013 is out of support"
.endif
.if !defined(HAVE_LINPROCFS) && !exists(/modules/linprocfs.ko) && !exists(${PREFIX}/modules/linprocfs.ko)
BROKEN= "This software absolutely requires Linux procfs support"
.endif
