I am not totally sure, but afair Gentoo's emerge downloaded the vmware
tgz file (or I had to fetch it manually and place it in the DISTFILE
dir), extracted it, applied some patches and the only thing I had to
run after every vmware update was vmware-config.pl to get it working.
That should be all you need to do with any updates to the kernel after
the initial install.
