Welcome to the forums. This does not appear to be managed by a Portage ebuild, so it is unclear where you got these modules, or whether you have followed all necessary preparatory steps. Please explain how someone here, with no specific knowledge of VMware, could reproduce the results you showed.

Do you need these modules? Gentoo should run fine without them.
