Does anybody know, if there are any plans for supporting FreeBSD 10 ?
I just ran into the same problem.
I was just installing a FreeBSD 10 in VMware and found some patches that worked for my ESXI 5.1.0.
I put together a simple BASH script that let's you choose between ESXi 5+ or 5.5 and then downloads patches and compiles as needed so you can run the normal install script afterwards. The script supports both old pkg tools and pkgng.

Note: As always with VMware tools you need compat6x and perl installed before running the actual VMware installer (after my bash script).
The scripts worked great with 32 bit FreeBSD10 on ESXI 5.5.
I confirm Mikl0s' script works for FreeBSD 10.0 AMD64 on ESXi 5.5 host.
thanks, Mikl0s!
