Well, i tried loading a pre-existing vmdk from Windows Vmware Wkstation 4.5 and
it just didnt work (it'd stall). I have to admit I couldn't spend much more
time on it so I moved on.

Definitely using kqemu-kmod. I was developing with eclipse under win32 and it
was rather painful... interestingly enough, the clock
inside the vm was ticking like crazy (4 or so times as fast as normal ) - i
ended up syncwing via ntp every 90 seconds :D. It could well be a fault in my
qemu config (pretty vanilla one ) but for what I need(ed) it, it does its
job.

QEMU can read and write vmdk files, so you may have an easy migration path. But if your issue is speed, have you looked at the kqemu-kmod port? It's the bit that allows guest code to run directly on the host cpu.

sure, works fine under freebsd. I just did a pkg_info -R qemu* and it doesn't
*seem* to depend on anything linux... the Makefile doesnt make any reference to
it either.
I've only used it for hosting a WinXP-Pro guest - it's not as fast as
VMWare,but i'm switching to linux just for that reason. And i wont be buying
vmware workstation linux licenses (needed for VmWare Workstaion 3.x on FreeBSD
host) - my Wkstation-Windows licenses are just fine (but not valid for linux,
according to vmware's support).

If it needs linux, use linux compatibility.
This is the first time I have run in to Qemu and it looks interesting.

I have a few "systems" in a qemu directory which I simply call from a command windows with the right options. At the moment I run XP/pro, Win98se, FreeDOS and a 'real' MS-DOS system under Qemu *on_FreeBSD*. They all run great.
