So have I (in fact that's how I started using FreeBSD 5.0).  However the drivers
required for their emulated graphics card are only supplied for FreeBSD 4.x with
VMWare 4.5.

You can use graphic driver modules (${X11}/lib/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.o) that is bundled with recent Xorg/XFree86, and it is (ideally) the same one VMware supplies by VMware tools for FreeBSD.

No worries, it just works.  Don't forget to set
        Driver "vmware"
to Section "Device" in xorg.conf/XF86Config.  You may also set
        BusID "PCI:0:15:0"
to "Device" section, but if my memory serves right, it is automatically set by driver itself.
