Hopefully all the suggestions have been applied.
I copy/paste the paragraph that I'll commit when MPlayerHQ will be
online. Is it okay with you Wanderer?

<para>
One can get an Aqua GUI for <application>MPlayer</application> together with
compiled <application>MPlayer</application> binaries for Mac OS X from the
<ulink url="http://mplayerosx.sf.net/">MPlayerOSX</ulink> project, but be
warned: that project as it is is not active anymore.
</para>
<para>
Fortunately, <application>MPlayerOSX</application> has been taken over
by <application>MPlayer</application>'s dev team, and is now one of the
official projects supported by <application>MPlayer</application>.
</para>
<para>
In order to build <application>MPlayerOSX</application>, you need
the <systemitem>mplayerosx</systemitem> module, the
<systemitem>main</systemitem> module and a copy of the
<systemitem>main</systemitem> module named
<systemitem>main_noaltivec</systemitem>.
<systemitem>mplayerosx</systemitem> is the GUI frontend,
<systemitem>main</systemitem> is MPlayer and
<systemitem>main_noaltivec</systemitem> is MPlayer built without AltiVec
support.
</para>
<para>
You can get the latest source from CVS:
<screen>
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/mplayer login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/mplayer co -P mplayerosx
</screen>

In order to build <application>MPlayerOSX</application> you will need to
set up something like this:
<screen>
MPlayer_source_directory
    |
    |--->main           (MPlayer CVS source)
    |
    |--->main_noaltivec (MPlayer CVS source configured with --disable-altivec)
    |
    |--->mplayerosx     (MPlayerOSX CVS source)
</screen>

You first need to build main and main_noaltivec.

Next, set a global variable:
<screen>export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3</screen>

Then, configure:
</para>
<para>
If you configure for a machine which CPU is greater than G3, do as follows:
<screen>
./configure --with-termcaplib=ncurses.5 --disable-gl --disable-x11
</screen>

If you configure for a G3-powered machine, do as follows:
<screen>
./configure --with-termcaplib=ncurses.5 --disable-gl --disable-x11
--disable-altivec
</screen>
You may need to edit config.mak and change the -mcpu and -mtune from
74XX to G3.
</para>
<para>
Continue with
<screen>
make
</screen>
then go to the mplayerosx directory and and type

<screen>
make dist
</screen>
This will create a compressed .dmg archive with the binary ready to use.
</para>
<para>
You can also use the xcode 2.1 project; the old project for xcode 1.x is
not working anymore.
</para>
