I can answer this one. Unity is essentially "rootless mode" for a VM. Meaning, the guest desktop is hidden, and all guest windows appear on the host desktop.

We've actually never tested Unity on FreeBSD guests so I'm not sure how well it'll work once you get it compiling, but in any case you'll also need to be running your guest under Fusion or Workstation 6.5.

Here's a Youtube video previewing Unity for Fusion 1.0:
