this is a known issue (at least your problem seems to be the same as
others had experienced).  i just added a MESSAGE file to vmware3 package
with a workaround described by Frank van der Linden on netbsd-users:

Since VMware 3.x, there is a problem which might be related to shared memory
under Linux emulation, giving as a result black screen.  Unfortunately, it's
extremely hard to track down what's going on, so noone has been able to fix
it yet.

If you experience this problem, setting your DISPLAY environment variable
to "localhost:0" should help.
