I started doing some work long time ago. You can find it here:

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/open-vm-tools/5/

The kmod package is kABI-tracking, and I was thinking of offering it
through the ELRepo project (http://elrepo.org).

I currently do not have the time to push it forward. I think your
effort would be greatly appreciated by the community. Of course, I
will provide any help you may need.
