I think that multimedia/vlc will play such streams, although I have
not used it for this purpose.  I think that both vlc and mplayer use
parts of net/liveMedia to handle these streams, and this specialized
port comes with a simple command-line client, openRTSP, which will
enable you to dump the stream to a file or pipe it to another player:

You may want to try this first.  Are you sure that the problem is with
the client, and not with the server?
