The mplayer package may not be redistributed for license reasons.
There's no space for more packages on the iso image produced by
freebsd.org anyway.  For third party vendors who sell CD sets, they
produce their own CDs so what they choose to include is up to them,
and you'd have to talk to the vendor directly.  For example, I think
that the bsdmall CD sets include OpenOffice packages as one of the
'value added' features they use to encourage people to buy their
version.
