VMware can't do that!
To run a 64bit guest on VMware you need 64bit hardware and VT/AMD-V

You got the point wrong, I'm talking running WITH 64 bit hardware in a 32 bit guest.

This is done in Mac OS X Leopard (kernel is only 32 bit) and Mac OS X Snow Leopard (using 32 bit kernel not 64 bit one) by VMWare, Parallels and VirtualBox, as well as on Windows 32 bit using VMWare (dunno about VBox and Parallels, VirtualPC is unable to run 64 bit guests at all even on 64 bit hosts), just provided of course, the hardware is 64 bit.
