Already asked at superuser (Credits to the OP). I post the answer here again - slightly modified:
There is no version of VMware Player for OS X. Instead, VMware sells a Mac version of their product called VMware Fusion. You may use it as trial version 30 days for free
If you don't want to purchase VMware Fusion, you can:
- Use Boot Camp to some other OS. The OS itself should run fine.
- Use Boot Camp and run vmplayer from the other OS. (Untested since I do not have a OS/X host)
- Use VirtualBox. VirtualBox can use virtual hard disks in VMware's VMDK format (like so).
There is also Parallels Desktop for Mac. Years ago I just received a license as a developer, and until now I did not find in any other hypervisor such an integration
There Is Wine Or Playonmac There Are Free Like Virtualbox

Using VMware fusion I generally create new virtual machines using File->New->Import an existing virtual machine. I then select the ovf I have that I want to import from. I wanted to automate this process using vmrun and I was wondering how to register a new machine using this ovf.

You can't do it using vmrun. However, VMware OVF Tool is a command-line utility that allows you to import and export OVF packages to and from a wide variety of VMware platform products. Once you've imported the OVF, you can use vmrun to register the resulting VMX file, and do all the usual stuff with it.
Note that not all OVF files are equal. Some of them define vApps, which consist of multiple guests, and IIRC the tool will reject the input in that case.
