Just so you know it should build ok, and on my Celeron-2400 server 
with NetBSD 4.0.1, used for building packages there are currently 889 
installed packages including modular-xorg and gnome, "pkg_info -n 
mplayer" gives:

So all above had to be pulled in prior to mplayer build completion. 

Many problems I've had during installs and updates is down to 
forgetting to clean up afterwards. Pkgclean from /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools
is faster than "make clean". Other than that there seem to be a few 
packages (not mplayer) that still required to be built as root or 
failed after install during cleanup due to being unable to delete a 
file or directory but these have been fairly obvious and easy to 
resolve problems. As well as checking log in work directory, I 
normally use "script" to retry failed builds as invariably the real 
problem is off screen.

I think you need to provide a bit more information as to what you 
already have installed. If you have already installed packages  
manually rather than via pkg_add or pkgsrc where have these been 
located so they don't conflict with NetBSD base system or pkgsrc (I 
use /usr/local for a few non pkgsrc standalone programs).
