Anyone who's interested in working on it should make sure to start with
the VMWare 3 port (which works at present), and Orlando's beta 4.5 port:

http://www.break.net/orlando/freebsd.html

Also of major use would be the merged linux vmware modules available at:

http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/

(or more specifically)

http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update98.tar.gz

This has support for VMWare 1 through 5.5, so if you take our version 3/4
support and this code, you should be able to see what's left to implement.

So, support SHOULD be possible, it's just a matter of someone putting in
the time to get it all working. (I do not have any such time,
unfortunately.)
