Hello Chad,

That dependency is optional in mplayer:

  .if defined(WITH_XMMS)
  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=3D    --enable-xmms
  LIB_DEPENDS+=3D   xmms.4:${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/xmms
  .else
  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=3D    --disable-xmms
  .endif

It should be sufficient to turn off "Enable XMMS plugin support" with
'make config'.
