The ports tree does not have "versions", so I don't know what "7.0
ports" means for certain -- but I think you're saying "When I installed
FreeBSD 7.0 and I chose to install ports in the distributions I wanted,
there was no open-vm-tools".
Let's see if we can find out when it was added:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/open-vm-tools/Makefile
...says March 28th of this year:

Please update your ports tree using csup. And if you DID install a
copy of the ports tree during your FreeBSD install, you need to be
aware that you must "adopt" the tree. The "adoption" process is
described on the CVSup site, but applies to the csup tool as well.

Also note this applies to "src", if you installed that too.
