You don't even need the installation CDs. For VMware you can download one of these pre-made images for VMPlayer: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/ You will find FreeBSD 6.0 and 6.1, minimal install with no desktop and PCBSD which is a FreeBSD with a nice KDE desktop and some extra utilities.
