No.  It's the same process as building on linux.
Get MPlayer CVS.
  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/mplayer login
  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/mplayer -z3 co main
Get ffmpeg CVS.
  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg login
  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg -z3 co ffmpeg/libavcodec ffmpeg/libavformat
Throw the two togethr.
  mv ffmpeg/libavcodec ffmpeg/libavformat main/
Configure for debugging.
  ./configure --enable-debug=3
Build.
  make && make install
Debug the crash and send a full verbose log of MPlayer's output and a
backtrace of the crash from gdb.
