You may add all these GNU utils by:
# pkg_add -r coreutils

And all GNU command wil lbe avialable with g prefix (ls = gls, shred = gshred etc ...)

NetBSD seems to be a little behind FreeBSD on the VMWare version and OpenBSD doesn't have it at all in packages. I haven't checked ports yet.
There is no VMware for BSDs, you will have to use QEMU (with kqemu) which is slow unfortunelly, if you choose NetBSD, then you will be able to use Xen 3.3 which is great virtualization sollution (even better them VMware imho).

Linux is not UNIX! Face it! It is not an insult. It is fact: GNU is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not UNIX”.
