I havent checked out mpg321, but the problem with mpg123 is they enabled
esound support in the makefile (if you have esound installed on the
system already), unfortantly there is no knob to turn this off, so short
of manually ripping the commands outta the ports Makefile your stuck..

if you want to hack at it yourself.. edit audio/mpg123/Makefile

and remove: 
WANT_ESOUND=    yes

.if defined(HAVE_ESOUND)
USE_ESOUND=     yes
ALL_TARGET=     freebsd-esd

and modify:
.elif defined(HAVE_NAS)

changing it to look like :
.if defined(HAVE_NAS)


and you should have a fully fuctional esd-less mpg123 that will work in
scripts and cron/at/etc

:)
