2) vmware-vdiskmanager -x <new size> <file.vmdk>
3) boot the VM
4) Resize the partition & filesystems using standard linux tools... (parted,etc...)
Voila.

Same as between hard disks, I guess.
Connect the new hard disk to the existing machine. Create the partition
layout you want. Copy the files over (I use tar for that, usually).
Don't forget that /dev/ is mounted as a ramdisk, but it has a couple of
crucial files on the main partition, so those must be copied as well.
When you're done, chroot into the new disk, install grub/lilo, and you
should be done.
