The 386 binaries for aux/vmwarefs and aux/isvmware, etc. are still
available but the corresponding sources are gone. You could try those. My
vague recollection is that Russ wrote vmwarefs (and other aux/vmware*)
using a guest API (probably VMCI?) that required an NDA, which might be why
the sources aren't there.
You could run a 9p based server like u9fs (/sys/src/cmd/unix/u9fs) on the
local box and import it into Plan 9 guest. If you're using drawterm to
connect to the Plan 9 guest from the host, your local filesystem on the
host is available from /mnt/term in the guest.
