Not the portage one (6.0.5).
You have to download (6.5.0) from vmware.com.
Download vmware-player, run the installer like this:
/path/to/VMWare-Player-6.5.0.18166.i386.bundle --command -x
extract_path
If that doesn't work, run
/path/to/VMWare-Player-6.5.0.18166.i386.bundle --help to get the
arguments.
In the extracted directory, you can find the .tgzs of the module
sources (they also include SuSE, Ubuntu, RedHat, and other binary
versions).
Just extract and compile.
