Considering that VMware is now at version 7 something I would just move on and use VirtualBox. 95% of the stuff VMware 7 can do it can do, although the OSE version in ports lacks USB pass-thru, but I'm sure it is leaps and bounds ahead of VMware 3 from ports. VMware will most likely ever support FreeBSD as a host and the Linux kernel hooks are too deep to reverse it and since VirtualBox works great, just use that. I run Win7 x86 and Win2008 R2 just fine inside VirtualBox. There is currently a bug in the FreeBSD-stable kernel (newer then Jan 29th) or so which caused the current VirtualBox install to freeze. Just follow the intructions on the VirtualBox FreeBSD wiki to pull the latest 3.1.4 VirtualBox and you should be good. http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox (see the notes under "know issues" at the bottom for update your ports outside of the current ports freeze.
