Is there somewhere from a Linux guest that will show me if the VM is running on VMWare's hypervisor?
Ideally a method that doesn't require vmware tools to be installed... maybe something in /proc or /sys?

Yes, The quickest approach is to use the virt-what command.
# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/virt-what
virt-what-1.11-1.2.el6.x86_64
Output:
# virt-what
vmware
But the utility also has facts for Xen, VirtualBox, KVM, Qemu, Parallels, etc.
