The reason I started on this project is because the version of mplayer in ports is severely out of date. When I tried to update to port I noticed that the project wants you to compile and install from svn. I also noticed a few other ports that have hacks to let the maintainers "use his/her custom scripts" stuck into the port's Makefile. I think it would be good if there was some standardized way of solving both of these problems...
