Given that hardware connections to external synthesisers are, at least in the Linux-side context, considered "synthesisers", I'm not sure what you mean by this.
For the record, I'm running VMware Workstation 7.0.1 on Fedora 11/12 with a bunch of Windows guests and I'm by far knowledgeable on this MIDI stuff.
I'm just repeating the user manual:
== Sound support includes pulse code modulation (PCM) output and input. For example, you can play .wav files, MP3 audio, and Real Media audio. MIDI output from Windows guests is supported by the Windows software synthesizer. MIDI input is not supported, and no MIDI support is available for Linux guests. ==
Keyword there being "software", right before synthesiser.
It also implies that setting up Timidity or Fluidsynth is not supported on a Linux guest.
Doesn't change the fact that drivers in VMware shouldn't be supplying hardware ports that don't exist.
