"make -V LOCALBASE" works fine. The other var works as well in the Makefile,
but not when it's inside the exist(). My ports tree has been acting a little
funny lately. Like, sometime it will not install the depends, which I had to
do it by manual (go each ports and install them).. Sometimes, it will work
perfect by automatic. I think, it's time for me to do the buildworld
(-CURRENT), update kernel, update ports tree and etc.

That's good idea. I put mplayer in the LIB_DEPENDS, which I explain more in
the another email (replied to Joe's comment)..
Thanks for help and give the feedback! :-)
