Since nobody has chimed in I felt I should:

I use FreeBSD 9.0 routinely under VMWare Workstation without issue (my 
current VMWare Workstation version is 8.0.0 which is slightly out of

I build test VMs for 9 and do test upgrades from 6.x, 7.x and 8.x to 9 
using VMWare Workstation on my desktop and laptop without issue.
