Installing mplayer on Snow Leopard "with MacPorts"

I didn't quite get macports to install mplayer on my Snow Leopard machine. But it almost did and with a little help I got it installed, and it wasn't too hard.
First issue:
sudo port install mplayer
This will grab all of the dependencies and then finally fail to install mplayer itself.
After that, follow these instructions. The svn command didn't work for me so I just grabbed the Subversion snapshot from the mplayer site.
