You could get the version (assuming there is one) in sarge by going to
ftp.debian-multimedia.org or a suitable mirror. But there are quite a
bit of dependencies showing for the package.

I have no idea whether all those files will be on the 8 cd's you'll be
transporting to the location.
You could roll your own from sources (which is what I recently did.
This briefly consists of ensuring you have all the necessary build
components, getting the sources and making the deb (fakeroot
debian/rules binary' done in the top-level directory of the source
package.) But then you'd need all the depends + development files
associated with building that package.

An easy way would be to apt-get -d mplayer after making sure the box
has the appropriate lines included to define debian-multimedia.org as a
source (and doing the appropriate apt-get update, of course). That'll
download mplayer and any dependencies it needs that you don't already
have.
You could then burn them onto a CD or put them on a USB stick, but
since you're the one with the better bandwidth, again, have no idea
whether or not your efforts will duplicate anything that isn't already
on the first 8 disks. Even so, that's the preferable way to go anyway,
and a little bit of wasted space on possible duplicated files shouldn't
be an issue. Besides, ti'd be faster for you to get them rather than
attempt to d/l at the remote location.
