There was a thread some days ago on the questions and emulation mailing-list 
about vmware3 setup.

Yup, you don't need to set gateway_enable="YES" in your rc.conf same with 
ipnat, you don't need it. There is one important thing when you start vmware 
and set up your virtual machine: 

In the Ethernet Adapters configuration dialog select 
   Connection Type:  --> Custom
   Vmnet:            --> /dev/vmnet1
