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.
