Yes and no - Christian Marillat has built and packaged MPlayer for a few
platforms on his server - packages that work excellently in most cases,
unless you have some weird side needs in your configuration. They are
apt-gettable via:

deb http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main

and are available for several different cpus. That said, MPlayer is
still a very *system specific* program, and still likes to know just
what it is dealing with, particularly for the best display, decoding and
choice of input sources, and so you may find "rolling your own" provides
a bit better functionality for you - although be forewarned, it requires
a significant number of -dev packages to be able to build with all of
the functionality.
