i don't think vmware 4 works on freebsd since, iirc, the linux version 
loads a kernel module and thus can't be run under the linux 
compatibility layer. however, there are older versions of vmware in the 
ports tree under emulators/ which work on freebsd (at least did work on 
5.2.1)

kind regards,

phil.
