VMware is also working on a Mac-native version of the VMware desktop
        http://www.vmware.com/news/releases/mac.html

Also available another software (60-day free beta trial) but maybe a  
stretch for it to run VMware desktop for Windows:

I wonder if people running on one of Apple's newer intel-based iMacs,  
if they were to download a free 15 day trial version of Parallels  
Desktop, could install Linux as a guest OS (inside Parallels's  
virtual machine) and then run VMware desktop for Linux.

A thread suggests that on the Mac (from the point of view of gaming  
anyway) the performance may be, from fastest to slowest,
        Native OS (under Bootcamp) -> Cider -> Crossover -> Parallels -> VMWare
