Yeah, if someone is willing to generate a list of such ports I'm sure it would help to improve the situation. It's not only mp3 but also exfat, h264 and many other codecs. Many ports like vlc and mplayer have mp3 support disabled per default which means they are safe. We are definitely not very accurate at following that patent stuff in the portstree at the moment.
