I am unaware that VMware has any software for this purpose. Specifically, the only virtualization system that I am aware can run on FreeBSD as the host is VirtualBox. I won't ague about its many issues and limitations, but for any use of FreeBSD as a host system, it's the only game in town. I suspect that most VB users on FreeBSD use it to get access to a small number of took on Windows...the ones in Office. It's still better than either LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org for either documents or presentations, especially presentations that will be displayed on a Windows system (as most are). -- R.
