Aren't you using the emulators/vmware2 port?? We are maintaining
Hints.FreeBSD to collect and provide such kind of information.

Because there has been an issue how we should get it in the source
tree, and someone had once imported linprocfs in the tree. 5-CURRENT
has it and 4-STABLE as of yesterday had it as part of the base system.

Again, I just wonder why you don't use vmware2 port. It has a hack
that should cope with that problem, i.e. it provides a fake Linux df.

Ditto. The vmware2 port creates them on installation.

Ditto. I wrote a mention of that issue in Hints.FreeBSD.
