Chances are you don't need to. If it says something like:

File not found: ~/mplayer.conf
Using file: /usr/share/mplayer/mplayer.conf

then it means you don't have a conf file in your home directory, so it's 
using the global file.

If you want to override any of the values in the global file, create the 
".mplayer" directory in you home path, and create a file called "config".

And if it doesn't say its using a global config file, don't worry: the 
default values are usually sane.

ps:
My ~/.mplayer/config:

    fs=yes
    double=yes
    vf=pp=hb/vb/dr/al
    fixed-vo=yes
    autosync=60
    idx=yes
    ao=alsa1x,oss
    stop-xscreensaver=yes
    framedrop=no

- fullscreen, double-buffered video
- applies postprocessing filter
- alsa audio, falls back to oss
- disables x-screensaver
- disables framedrop
- other stuff, see man page for info
