Yes, I have successfully installed FreeBSD i386 and amd64 on ESX 3.x.
The only problem I know of is that SMP only works with FreeBSD/amd64.

When creating a new virtual machine I always choose "Other" or
"Other(64-bit)" as guest OS. The virtual SCSI Controller is "LSI Logic",
FreeBSD is version 6.x. Once the virtual system is running, I install
the VMware Tools from VMware Server 1.x.
