Yes, there is. The distro provided tools package is the only way to have working modules once the kernel gets updated, without having to manually recompile. It has been working pretty well since the release in April, but I guess the version in Ubuntu (236320) lacks behind the stuff in the VMware repository at f.i. http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/4.1/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/index.html, which is currently at 257589. It would be ideal to combine the working and supported tools from VMware with the dkms system from Ubuntu. This would yields a supported set of modules, which are automagically updated on each kernel update.
