Would it be possible to run VMware on my account so I could test ]project-open[ ?
VMware Player 2.0.1 for Linux (.rpm)
or
VMware Player 2.0.1 for Linux (.tar)

No.
Did you even bother to read the TOS?
If you were on a dedicated or private server plan, it would be possible, but then I imagine you'd already be well aware of that fact.

I wish I knew what the TOS is :-)

Now that I know what the TOS is, I don't understand how it addresses my point. I should probably try in the beginners' forum.
I was somehow looking for a more technical explanation about the limitation.

The big hangup is that VMWare is a persistent process, which is frowned upon. DreamHost (stress the "host) part, is primarily for hosting (websites, mail, files). Not as a personal computer that's running Linux.
The Terms Of Service: Material Products 6 & 7 explain this.

Thanks for the clarification, sdayman. 
I just thought most people knew what a TOS was... apparently not! My apologies
