No, you just have to have the kernel source available and on the system,
like it says.  If you're using 5.0-Release, install them from the CD via
/stand/sysinstall.  If you're using -Current, you should have your
source available already somewhere, just make sure the port knows where
it is.  If it's on the system but not in /usr/src, you could symlink
that to wherever you have your source.

Also, bear in mind that once you get past this hurdle, you'll have to
download a kernel patch that hasn't been committed yet, apply it, and
rebuild your kernel.

I can testify that VMWare3 works via the port, as I have it installed
and running.

Hope that helps,
