I'm actually using 2.6.11-rc3 with Con Kolivas' ck1 patchset, so YMMV, but this might apply to other new kernels as well.

vmware-config.pl fails to work with this kernel and the current vmware-workstation ebuild.

Edit the ebuild thus -

cd /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation
edit vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r2.ebuild

go to row 12 and change it to ANY_ANY="vmware-any-any-update89", i.e. change the 88 at the end to 89.

run
Code:
ebuild vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r2.ebuild digest


emerge vmware-workstation

run /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl amd it should now work.

I'll file a bug report on this so hopefully the fix will get into portage.
