Maybe no reason to keep them (except for users who still use VMware
Workstation 3, already unsupported product by VMware.) However, there's
less reason to remove them and that's why these ports still there.
Since misc/compat3x security vulnerability is hard to fix, it's the time
to remove emulations/vmware-{tools,guestd}3.
