There's no such stuff in the ebuild. Delete media-video/mplayer directory from /usr/portage, delete any mplayer ebuilds you have in your overlays and emerge --sync.
*** Bug 136796 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Leaving resolved, but I'm recording what I actually had to do to fix my problem. Removing media-video/mplayer from /usr/portage was insufficient. I cleared out /var/cache/edb/dep/* and /var/tmp/portage/, then did 'emerge --sync', then it worked.
