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. It's the same situation as with Solaris x86 - it'll run under VMWare 4.5, but you're stuck with VESA graphics (though Sun did start including the appropriate driver with the betas of 10 last year). -- Rob | Oh my God!
