I'll try setting it up when I get back to that machine tonight.

The 5.5.1.19175-r3 ebuild runs perfectly here, give it a go.
You *must* run vmware-config.pl as root after the install.
If vmware-config.pl complains about being unable to shutdown the vmware
services, rerun it using the -skipstopstart switch.
rc-update add vmware default will fix your redhat runlevel problems.
Make sure that the userid you're going to run vmware under is a member
of the vmware group.
Hope this helps.
