for the record, VMWare tools is included in the ports collection
Well, the port uses the stuff from the mounted iso-image ;-)
You can't download them separately, AFAIK.
and they dont really do anything beyond provide a clock sync
between the virtual image and the host PC
That's not completely true, IIRC.
AFAIK, the tools are also helping with memory management (on ESX at
least, maybe Server 2.0 gained something here on Server 1.0)
they are almost not worth installing. pfSense has an option to sync
to an NTP server already and i just run an NTP sync program within
my BSD server image.
IMO, the biggest problem of VMware is clock-syncing.
Even on "supported" platforms.
It's a nightmare.
but yes VMWare Server does come with the tools ISO's

Make Windows Vista more reliable and secure with Windows Vista
Service Pack 1. Learn more.
I thought it was one of those witty tag-lines along "Make Vista more
reliable by installing Ubuntu" or so.
Interestingly, it doesn't say "faster" ;-)))
cheers,
