The problem is, how will I instruct it to boot the necessary VMware services on boot of GRML itself?

You unpack the tar (to /opt/vmware), and then run vmware-install.pl, which copies the files to the right places /usr/lib/vmware/, /etc/vmware/, /etc/init.d/...).

AFAIK, grml uses file-rc instead of sys-rc, so better use update-rc.d to make sure that it can launch at boot.
