Yes. See below.

libdvdnav-4.1.3 is keyworded ~x86, while mplayer-1.0_rc2_p28058-r1 is
keyworded x86. The USE cannot be satisfied. See
/usr/portage/profiles/base/package.use.mask, somewhere near the
bottom, there is a bit about dvdnav being masked. I think you can try
use unmasking the flag: add a line to /etc/portage/package.use.mask

media-video/mplayer -dvdnav

should do the trick.
