There is a new version out.
It's in vmware overlay. please test. commit d98b20a253b67923a5f7461f5fed051798f2d14c Author: Vadim Kuznetsov <vadimk@gentoo.org> Date: Sat Mar 9 11:25:37 2013 -0500 vmware desktop 9.0.2 version bump. Bugs 459566, 458228, 460908.
I have installed from your overlay, this is really just a rename with the addition of a moved library due to an open bug. It was working fine even when I just had renamed the ebuilds. Nice thing about this version is that it builds on 3.8 kernels with no added patches and even more impostant to me, FINALLY vmware has released a version which enables vmouse virtual usb in the config that actually makes the side buttons on a usb mouse work.
In the main tree.
