The ebuild from vmware-player-1.0.0.18587 works. Setup a portage overlay at
/usr/local/portage 

Then mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-player

then copy the entire tree from /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-player/ to
/usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-player/

Then cd to /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-player/

then mv vmware-player-1.0.0.18587.ebuild vmware-player-1.0.0.19317.ebuild 

then cd to files

and mv vmware-player-1.0.0.18587-config.patch
vmware-player-1.0.0.19317-config.patch

Then cd ..

ebuild vmware-player-1.0.0.19317.ebuild digest

You now should be able to emerge...

Sorry about that. Please ignore my last comment, the ebuild has a define which
selects the previous version directly. I will check that and report back..

Well after editing the line VMware-player-1.0.0-18587 to
VMware-player-1.0.1-19317  in the ebuild and renaming things so that the ebuild
and patch are vmware-player-1.0.1.19317.ebuild and
vmware-player-1.0.1.19317-config.patch it worked (I successfully ran several
virtual machines in the expected version).  I did have to do the ebuild
vmware-player-1.0.1.19317.ebuild digest step again...

In your fourth overlay instruction, I think you meant to cd to
/usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-player, not
/usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-player.

Aside from that, this worked great.

Happy New Year,

W
