I think you are run vmware not from root?

No. After port installation  you are have the file 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh, this file summoned and configured vmnet1 
interface.

vmnet0 currently not used. And more you don't want to summon vmnet0 interface,
due to the ethernet address operations. And more this is a very bad idea to
have the three ethernet adapters on one computer in the one TCP/IP network.

Just a select for vmnet1, another, unused IP network. After chose the right
ip address for example 192.168.101.1/24, try to reinstall port (or manually
change numbers in the /usr/local/etc/vmware/config and 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh files.

Oh now, you are need separated network for this 'ethernet' adapter.

Probably not.  Select your IP 192.168.100.1, network mask 255.255.255.0,
Windows guest 192.168.100.2, and gateway 192.168.100.1 (only needed 
when you want to link guest with the rest world).
