I've also had some of this errors, so I'll comment on mplayer and mozilla:
* mplayer:
[rainer@bsd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer]$ make showconfig | grep -i skin
SKINS=on "Force dependency on mplayer-skins"
In my case, mplayer decided to install the dependecy mplayer-skins
during its install phase, the mplayer-skins' distfiles were corrupted
and it failed to install multimedia/mplayer. I was able to fix this with
a rm -f /usr/ports/distfiles/mplayer/* (which removes the skins distfiles).
* mozilla:
It's broken due to some freetype internals, the error message is this:
nsType1.cpp:371: error: invalid conversion from `int (*)(FT_Vector*,
void*)' to `int (*)(const FT_Vector*, void*)'
nsType1.cpp:371: error: invalid conversion from `int (*)(FT_Vector*,
void*)' to `int (*)(const FT_Vector*, void*)'
nsType1.cpp:371: error: invalid conversion from `int (*)(FT_Vector*,
FT_Vector*, void*)' to `int (*)(const FT_Vector*, const FT_Vector*, void*)'
nsType1.cpp:371: error: invalid conversion from `int (*)(FT_Vector*,
FT_Vector*, FT_Vector*, void*)' to `int (*)(const FT_Vector*, const
FT_Vector*, const FT_Vector*, void*)'
make[4]: *** [nsType1.o] Error 1
The fix/patch is here:

Besides these two, I have some other thoughts regarding the gnome 2.16
upgrade:
- graphics/cairo failed the first time during the configure phase
(complaining it couldn't find a suitable "glitz" version), I had to
check config.log and found out it was looking for glitz > 0.5, while the
installed version was still 0.4.*. I solved this by forcing the glitz
upgrade first (portupgrade -f graphics/glitz) and then I was able to
upgrade graphics/cairo.
- For some unknown reason, all my fonts look like crap on
firefox/thunderbird after the gnome upgrade. All TTF fonts are available
as before, but there are some serious problems with anti-aliasing &
hinting, I'm not sure if it's related to the freetype upgrade, or the
X11BASE->LOCALBASE conversion. I've also tried firefox 2.0rc2
(www/firefox-devel), same crappy fonts. (all other gnome apps have
absolutely no font problems).
- gnome_prefix.sh doesn't work. I've tried it numerous times and it
failed to update my ~/.gconf paths and many other gnome configuration
files which were set to use X11BASE (yes, I did use the '-f' parameter).
I ended up having to the update dozens of configuration files with sed.
- Every single icon in mail/evolution is unavailable (including toolbar
icons, preference dialog icons and interface icons). No error is printed
during startup, it simply replaces all those icons with a red cross.
I could probably report other errors, but I've only stumbled across
specific gnome applications errors since I'm using xfce4 as my desktop
environment (instead of gnome-panel/metacity).
