Yes, it is.
I use vmware 4.0.2.5592 with 2.6.0-t3.
You just need the vmware-any-any-update40.tar.gz.
Get it here: http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update40.tar.gz
unpack and copy it to vmware-src/lib/modules/source/

hope this helps!

Regards,
Martin

ps.: i use gentoo, and i just looked at the package build scripts.
