Well, I am indeed on 6.2-RELEASE.

And yes, the VM does nothing after I get my SVGA
error.  It doesn't ever start.  I can just hit "power
on" again, and it does the same thing.  Never starts
in any capacity.

I have no real need to run VMs in full-screen mode - I
am happy having them in a window (especially when a
1/4 screen window is actually 960x600, which is plenty
large) ... so I am hoping I can just skip all the
trivia related to multi-head and xinerama and
xorg.conf edits ... those only matter if I want to go
full-screen, right ?

What further information can I give to you (or others)
that can help troubleshoot vmware3-on-freebsd6.2 ?
