I can give you something formal later unless Nicholas gets to it but  
here's the gist of it and assumes you are building on an intel mac:

check out mplayer code
check out mplayerosx code
% mkdir build
% cd build
% mkdir main_intel main_ppc main_noaltivec
% for dir in *; do cd $dir; lndir ../../<mplayer source dir>; cd ../;  
done
% cd main_intel and configure/compile using --disable-mp3lib;
% cd ../main_ppc and configure/compile using --target=ppc-darwin -- 
cc=powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 --enable-cross-compile --enable- 
altivec
% cd ../main_noaltivec and configure/compile usinf --target=ppc- 
darwin --cc=powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 --enable-cross-compile -- 
disable-altivec
% cd ../mplayerosx
% lipo -create ../main_ppc/mplayer ../main_intel/mplayer -output  
External_Binaries/mplayer.app/Contents/MacOS/mplayer
% cp -a ../main_noaltivec/mplayer_noaltivec External_Binaries/ 
mplayer.app/Contents/MacOS/mplayer_noaltivec
% make dist
