I'm running vmware 1.x
it works fine except that you need to change the location of some
include files for it to compile, and to make a small change to 
the vmnet ethernet driver. Unfortunatly however, it
doesn't like to access raw disks and refuses to allow me to
read my disks directly. It will work however with virtual disks.

the files that need to be patched are:
jules# pwd
/usr/ports/emulators/vmware/work/vmware-distrib
jules# find . -print|xargs grep -l compat/lin
./vmmon-only/freebsd/linux_emu.c
./vmnet-only/freebsd/vmnet_linux.c

in linux_emu.c:
#include <i386/linux/linux.h>
#include <i386/linux/linux_proto.h>
#include <compat/linux/linux_util.h>  <---------

in vmnet_linux.c:
#include <i386/linux/linux.h>
#include <i386/linux/linux_proto.h>
#include <compat/linux/linux_ioctl.h> <----------

plus:
----------
        s = splimp();
        ether_ifattach(ifp,1); <------ this replaces 3 other lines
        splx(s);

        return 0;
}
./vmnet-only/freebsd/vmnet.c: unmodified: line 159 of 599 [26%]
