ok.  i just used /usr/ports/emulators/vmware2.  i presume it will ask for my
real serial number if i ever get it to run.  but ...

i get the proper responses from 
  ifconfig vmnet1
and
  kldstat

but when i run vmware from a user account, i get

% vmware
Setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp.
VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for your running kernel. To (re-)configure it, your system administrator
must find and run "vmware-config.pl". For more information, please read the
INSTALL file in VMware Workstation's documentation directory.

i then try 
  /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl
and it whines

# ./vmware-config.pl 
Setup is unable to find the "insmod" program on your machine. Please make sure 
it is installed. Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand? 
[yes] 

so i am confused and stuck again.
