Comment (by mike.c.wilding@…):

 I had a similar error with compiling mplayer 2. The error relates to a
 change in the struct AVCodec in header libavcodec/aavcodec.h. This header
 comes from ffmpeg (which is missing from the Portfile as a compile time
 dependency). Digging around the ffmpeg releases and I can see that the
 struct changed sometime between ffmpeg release 0.11.x and 1.0.
 It appears mplayer2 is not compatible with ffmpeg version 1.0.

 As a workaround you can install an old version of ffmpeg-devel port
 20120917. Download the old ffmpeg-devel port file r97854 from svn or
 https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/multimedia/ffmpeg-
 devel/Portfile?rev=97854 and add to a local macport repository or install
 manually.
 See http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories or
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort for more detailed
 instructions on installing custom and old ports respectively.

 The long term solution would be to update mplayer2 source to compile/link
 against ffmpeg 1.0;  a job for its developers.
 In the short term one could create an ffmpeg-old port that is marked as
 conflicting with ffmpeg/ffmpeg-devel and add it as a compile/runtime
 dependency to mplayer2. Alternatively modify the port file to warn the
 user if an incompatible version of ffmpeg is installed.
