It just creates a disk image + an XML configuration file suitable for
libvirt.  It's relatively simple to convert that to VMWare's format.
We (Red Hat) developed a tool to do this but I'm not sure at the
moment if I can release it.  Most probably VMWare can boot disk images
directly.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
