I assume you mean AVIs.  Install the `xanim' port.  It'll handle most AVIs.
Excerpt from the man page:

              +  AVI animations. Currently supported are
                   -> IBM Ultimotion     (ULTI) depth 16.
                   -> JPEG               (JPEG) depth 24.
                   -> Motion JPEG        (MJPG) depth 24.
                   -> Intergraph JPEG    (IJPG) depth 24.
                   -> Microsoft Video 1  (CRAM) depth 8 and 16.
                   -> Radius Cinepak     (CVID) depth 24. (see NOTE 1)
                   -> Intel Indeo 3.1    (IV31) depth 24. (see NOTE 2)
                   -> Intel Indeo 3.2    (IV32) depth 24. (see NOTE 2)
                   -> Intel Raw YUV      (YUV9) depth 24. (see NOTE 2)
                   -> Creative CYUV      (CYUV) depth 16. (see NOTE 3)
                   -> Uncompressed       (RGB ) depth 4.
                   -> Uncompressed       (RGB ) depth 8.
                   -> Uncompressed       (RGB ) depth 16.
                   -> Uncompressed       (RGB ) depth 24.
                   -> Run length encoded (RLE8) depth 8.
                   -> Editable MPEG      (XMPG) depth 24.

It handles lots more than AVIs, too.

If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage.  But
this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine, is
somehow ennobled and none dare criticize it.
