Read /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer/pkg-message

For non TTF fonts you can go into the ports dir as a normal user and:

% make install-user

It makes warnings about "no font found" or alike in gmplayer go away. 

If you want to use a TTF font, I guess you have to install one. Perhaps use 
mkttfdir or what's it called...

I never used OSD myself I must say, and usually use kmplayer.

HTH,
