Default

mplayer works in two ways:

By default, it builds a binary that detects cpu features at run-time. This is a little slower.
If you adjust the port options, it will auto-detect the cpu features at build time, and build a custom binary for your processor.

I don't know if you can specify a different processor if you are building for another system, though.
