I think Doug explained that fairly clearly.  Back a few years ago
there were a couple people who did work to get vmware to run on
FreeBSD.  For whatever reason, those same people are not doing so
today.  The most likely answer is that they have different priorities
and needs now, and work on different things.  There also may be PRs
that exist that may address today's problems with VMware on FreeBSD.

That said, there are people actively working linux emulation in
general.  It would probably be more useful if you explained to this
list what issues you had when trying to run vmware (e.g., any error
output, kernel messages, ktrace results, OS version, etc.).
