Did you follow the advice you got when you installed vmware-module? It
should have said (from /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/vmware-module/INSTALL):

===========================================================================
Copy the following files from ${PKG_PREFIX}/etc/rc.d to /etc/rc.d:

linuxrtc vmmon vmnet vmnetif vmware

and append the content of ${PKG_PREFIX}/etc/rc.conf.d to /etc/rc.conf:

vmware_prefix=${PKG_PREFIX}
vmmon=YES
vmnet=YES
linuxrtc=NO
# XXX should cater for multiple interfaces
vmnetif=YES
vmnetifname=vmnet1
vmnetdev=/dev/vmnet1
vmnetifconfig="inet 172.16.212.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
vmnetif_use_dhcpd=NO

Then, reboot your system.
===========================================================================

You can check if the vmware LKMs are loaded by running the "modstat"
command.
