Yes. At out office we are running VMWare3 as a host on FreeBSD 6.1 running Windows XP. It runs perfect.

During setup I testet other solutions qemu etc. but found that VMWare out-speeds them all. VMWare is very fast, so fast that you almost wont notice its virtual.

Someone commented, that its impossible to run VMWare on FreeBSD as a host, but thats wrong. 

I highly recommend VMWare3 from ports, eventhough its old.
