though cd to the mplayer ports dir followed by make deinstall 'should'
have solved the problem, i just noticed another detail worth mentioning.

you're using pkg_delete here.  i do not believe that it accepts shell
globs (like * or ?).  you might have better luck with pkg_deinstall -- part
of the tools installed by /sysutils/portupgrade, which i *highly*
recommend.
