I've had no problem installing the tools via the ports on 7.0 release on ESX
server 3.0.1.

Get the latest freebsd.iso image from Vmware Server. And use this in the CD
for the VM. Then:

cd /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6/
make clean install

reboot.

If you want X support the use: /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-tools6

Cheers,

Barry
