This looks like a Linuxism. I notice the port depends on linux_base.

If you go to a console and use tty(1) it will give you something like:

/dev/ttyv1

I guess you built vmware from ports, so one way of fixing things would
be to deinstall/reinstall it (the size of it along with the speed of
your machine will determine how painful that is :) Or a bodge might
be: 

# ln -s /dev/ttyv0 /dev/tty0

Disclaimer: I know nothing about vmware & am largely shooting in the
dark.
