It might be easier if you just let Portage manage it:

eix win32codecs
* media-libs/win32codecs
     Available versions:  20050216 *~20050412
     Installed:           20050216
     Homepage:            http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
     Description:         Win32 binary codecs for video and audio
playback support

and then made sure mplayer knew about it:

 emerge -pv mplayer
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

[ebuild   R   ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7  -3dfx +3dnow +3dnowext +X

+win32codecs

+xanim -xinerama +xmms +xv +xvid +xvmc 0 kB

Of course, if you emerge mplayer +win32codecs, then you don't have to
emerge the win32codecs package separately (unless you want it in your
world file), as it will then be pulled in as a dependency.
