Actually ${LOCALBASE}/bin/mplayer should do it within the exists brackets.
What does your ports system think localbase is for you?
(cd your-port-dir && make -V LOCALBASE)

I think I can understand what you're trying to do here.
You want the people to install mplayer with their favourite options
befor building lumiere?!
One thing is fully clear: You should use RUN_DEPENDS whether you want to
or not, because this program is only a frontend and completely useless
without the corresponding backend application.
If you want the user to install mplayer before your port you could use a
pre-everything::
target and throw a message that explains the situation to the user.
A dialog would be a solution, too, although I'd personally prefer to get
around without them.
