You need to look a little closer. We have three versions available in 
ports -

multimedia/ffmpeg which is at 0.7.15
multimedia/ffmpeg1 which is at 1.2.1 - updated 2 days ago
multimedia/ffmpeg-devel which is an svn snapshot at 2012.10.13

You will find a lot of ports are still configured to use 0.7.15.

The main catch is the ports are designed to co-exist so ffmpeg1 has the
trailing 1 added to all the lib/cli names.

I have had no problems using ffmpeg1 with my version of blender for
several months now. It has a cmake option for lib names and then I
added include/ffmpeg1 to C/CXXFLAGS and lib/ffmpeg1 to LDFLAGS.
