I remade the whole thing, in the end, and now at least I'm not getting crashes 
(at least, I think I remade the module... I did make and make install and so 
on in /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3/ , but I couldn't see how to compile 
vmnet.ko on its own).

On boot I still get this:

Additional ABI support: linux.
Starting cron.
Local package initialization:link_elf: symbol linux_ioctl_register_handler 
undefined
kldload: can't load /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/vmnet.ko: No such file or 
directory

I guess the link_elf line doesn't look good, is it connected?Vmware starts ok, 
then when I try to boot the vm I get this:

Could not query bridging status on /dev/vmnet1: Invalid argument
Failed to configure ethernet0.

in a dialog, and this from the console:

Thanks a lot for your help,
