What you might also try to do is to just install FreeBSD in VMWare  
from the ISO images yourself, then install the compat6x port and  
afterwards install the VMWare tools from within VMWare. This not only  
installs a special VMWare driver for X.org (and automatically sets up  
xorg.conf) which allows you to set the resolution and lets the mouse  
leave the VM window without pressing Ctrl-Apple keys each time, this  
also installs the VMWare tools applet that can be used to reduce the  
VM disk image from time to time.

For infos about how to install the tools, have a look at the VMWare  
Fusion Help.
