Not sure what you are asking..
I have built and posted a vmplayer version of DSL in the download section.
The latest versions of DSL have mknod.

I don't want a DSL that runs as a virtual machine inside vmware.
I want a DSL that comes with the vmware player installed or where this player can be easily installed.

So you want:

Boot up DSL

Install the Linux VMware program.

Run vmware from inside DSL to emulate another OS like Windows 95 or BSD or MSDOS or something.

Does a Debian package exist for VMware?

If so, you could first enable APT from the menu and then use

sudo su
dpkg -i name_of_package_file.deb

to install it.
