Back a few years ago there were a couple people who did work to get vmware to run on FreeBSD. For whatever reason, those same people are not doing so today. The most likely answer is that they have different priorities and needs now, and work on different things. There also may be PRs that exist that may address today's problems with VMware on FreeBSD. That said, there are people actively working linux emulation in general. It would probably be more useful if you explained to this list what issues you had when trying to run vmware (e.g., any error output, kernel messages, ktrace results, OS version, etc.).
