We have modified linux o/s that we'd like to have the VMware tools and therefore access to the SDKs.

What is the process?

How does one get the tools onto a VM with a guest O/S that is not recognized?

Not sure if this will help but have a look at this. The tools or versions of are open sourced. There is a forum specific to the OSP You can also find the open sourced code at http://www.vmware.com/download/vsphere/open_source.html#c138074

You may also be able to use the binary packages from the OSP http://packages.vmware.com/tools.
