Do you have a particular reason for using this port? Assuming you mean
8.X, the Tools that ship on this iso with Vmware will work (assuming
your copy of vmware isn't too old) if you install misc/compat6x or you
can try emulators/open-vm-tools (open sourced copy of Vmware Tools
that you build).

If you meant 9-CURRENT, things may be more difficult since Vmware only
ships binaries for releases and open-vm-tools is marked broken on
current.
