It was, see below.

Since the port(s) now supports CC, I decided to use that.
With CC set to /usr/bin/gcc, I rebuilt the port. And got the same
problems. Remember, /usr/bin/gcc is version 3.4.6 on this system.
Then I set CC to /usr/local/bin/gcc42 and rebuilt the port again.
And now mplayer works without problems.

So it seems like mplayer needs gcc > 3.4.6.

And BTW, you were right - ports are using $PATH to pick up compilers if
nothing else is set.
