Could you check if vmmon and vmnet sources contains the following
lines:
MODULE_DEPEND(vmmon, linux, 1, 1, 1); , and
MODULE_DEPEND(vmnet, linux, 1, 1, 1); respectively ?
If not, add one line to the each module and recompile them. I'm
unsure if vmware1 port was updated to reflect recent changes in the
kernel. (vmware2 runs fine for me, the only grief is that license will
expire soon :)

The symbols looked up in the module name space only if dependency
tag is present. This effectively allows us to have multiple versions of
kernel interfaces to be loaded simultaneously.
