    the following howto comes from a post on bsdforums.org. I used it and it
    worked well.

    #cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
    #make WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=yes WITH_GUI=yes WITH_FREETYPE=yes
    WITH_XVID=yes WITH_DVD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes WITH_MAD=yes WITH_AALIB=yes
    WITH_SDL=yes WITH_VORBIS=yes WITH_REALPLAYER=yes WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes
    WITH_FAAD=yes WITH_XMMS=yes install clean

    most of the options above have flags autodetect so if you have some of
    the above then you can skip it

    6. DO NOT RUN MPLAYER yet
    7. install fonts
    #cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer-fonts
    #make install clean
    (select 8859-1)
    8. configure mplayer for user:
    as a user (not root)
    #cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
    #make install-user
    9. next copy following files to ~/.mplayer
    #cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf ~/.mplayer/
    #cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/example.conf ~/.mplayer/config
    #cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/input.conf ~/.mplayer
    10. fINAL STEPS FOR USER CONFIG
    #cd ~/.mplayer
    create directory for skins
    #mkdir Skin (THIS IS THE NAME OF DIR DONT MAKE ANY OTHER)
    11. download mplayer skins from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html
    12. unpack skins to the directory you created ~/.mplayer/Skin
    you shoud download also default skin
    13. make sure that these lines in ~/.mplayer/config file are uncommented:
    vo=xv
    fs=yes # maybe not required !!!

    comment out the following line at the end of ~/.mplayer/config file:
    #include = /home/gabucino/.mplayer/i_did_not_RTFM_carefully_enough...

    Alternative way to get skins (did not work for me sometime ago, never
    tested after that): built the skins from ports
    14. you are almost done
    15. run
    #gmplayer

    extra stuff
    16. Install mplayer-plugin for mozilla from /usr/ports/www/mplayer-plugin

    this will allow you to play quicktime movies from mozilla
    test for mozilla plugin:
    http://www.apple.com/trailers/newli..._towers-teaser/
    select small from watch it now panel (small loads faster) you should see
    and hear trailer.
    There is no plugin for realplayer so *rm file will invoke it as separate
    instance
    except downloading realplayer to ../.../distfiles you do not need to get
    or install anything before mplayer.
    Test realplayer alone to see if it works (for me it does).
    You will be also able to listen WMP streaming files (mozilla should open
    small extra window - empty), and watch DVD
