From what I understand, vmware makes direct calls/access/something
to the linux kernel, so it's not a candidate for emulation. Also, I
contacted them and asked about a freebsd version but they said they have
no plans for it currently. If you are now, or would be willing to be a
paying customer I encourage you to write them and request a freebsd
version. That way they know they have a market.
Good luck,
Doug
