Looks like this email didn't make it to the mailing list. I've not tried the solution
yet, but I figured everyone would like to see this.

I've also bitten by this.
I found that the cause is 'cdevsw_add' call,
which seems like required to register device before.
so I did:
% cd /usr/ports/emulators/(rtc|vmware2)
% make configure
% grep -r 'cdevsw_add' work/*
and replaced all 'error = cdevsw_add' by 'error = 0', then
% make all install
and VMware2 works fine for me again.
but a warning message :
WARNING: driver "vmmon" used unreserved major device number 200
is displayed when vmmon.ko is loaded.
so this might not be a right solution, but it worked for me.
hope this helps.
