That's fine. I was a FreeBSD newbie and on a low-end machine I was installing Apache from ports (because ports and packages conflict there, and the prebuilt packages are...) I typed make install clean and left. After like 4 hours I returned and pulled my hair out seeing it was waiting for options.

I usually hit (and did that a few time already) the pkgsrc mailing lists when I have such problems. I don't care about mplayer since my desktop is Windows XP, and prefer VLC anyway. ;-)
