No, the port is mostly targeted at owners of VMware 3 these days.

Yes, however, VMware doesn't offer licenses for VMware 3 anymore. So if you 
don't already have a VMware 3 box lying around somewhere, this port probably 
isn't of much use to you.

There are no ports for more recent versions of VMware because the FreeBSD 
linux binary compatibility cannot run them properly.
