There is:
http://www.trendsigma.net/vmware/debian6t.html

but I never tried it myself, I go with Werner's advice :-)

To install the Vmware tools does require some Unix-knowledge now and then, 
because it does not compile the modules most of the times I tried it.
I install the "basic" built environment with:

aptitude install module-assistant
m-a prepare
[hit ENTER two or three times]

That installs more than the required stuff, but it's easy to remember.
