No, unless you are entitled to a free 4.x to 5.x upgrade, VMWare
sometimes do this when you buy the old version just before the new one is
released.
If not, you'll need to add ">app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.0"
to /etc/portage/package.mask to stop portage trying to upgrade.
5.0 is rather nice, and the upgrade fee from 4.5 is not that great.
