The NetBSD source tree has:

	pkgsrc/emulators/vmware    VMware Workstation 2.x
	pkgsrc/emulators/vmware3   VMware Workstation 3.x

and both look like work product from http://www.vmware.com/ which look like
"commercial vmware" to me.  One of the download sites is in the "vmware.com"
domain.

Can someone please explain why neither one of the packages is a good solution
for this application?

TIA,

Conrad
