The 5.5 BETA is available for testing at www.vmware.com, as a linux tar 
file and an rpm.

Also available is free software called VMware Player, which can run
virtual machines created with VMware workstation etc.

I have used the Windows 5.5 BETA (RC2) to create a FreeBSD 6.0 virtual 
machine (seems to be working well, just FYI).

I'd like to run the vmware 5.5 BETA for linux on FreeBSD and would like 
some pointers on what I might have to do to get it installed either from
the rpm version or the tar file, or how to alter the vmware3 port to
handle this 5.5 BETA.

I think the BETA has limited life so I'd like to try to do it soon.
