That was actually Jeremy's reply, not mine, but I'll answer
anyway.
You want to start at www.pkgsrc.org. Basically you download
a tarball
"skeleton" tree that lets the pkgsrc system build
any package from
scratch. Before you build anything, though, you want to
tell pkgsrc where
to install the binaries it builds. The default is /usr/pkg,
but if you
can't create that directory, you'll obviously have to offer
another one.
Cf. "man packages" for LOCALBASE and X11BASE.
Then cd to the mplayer directory and type "make".
pkgsrc will fetch
whatever it needs, including other packages it depends on,
and build
everything. (That's the theory, anyway. This list exists
because it
doesn't *always* work out.)  Then
"make install" and you're home free.
HTH.
