>Description:
When building mplayer, the mplayer tarball is downloaded to pkgsrc/distfiles; fine.  If gmplayer is then built, the Makefile does not check pkgsrc/distfiles for the mplayer tarball.  Instead pkgsrc/distfiles/gmplayer is checked and the tarball is downloaded again.
>How-To-Repeat:
Assuming mplayer is not already installed in any way...  Build and install mplayer from pkgsrc/graphics/mplayer.  Then go to pkgsrc/graphics/gmplayer and type "make".  Notice how the mplayer tarball is needlessly downloaded a second time.

>Fix:
Quick and dirty: mkdir pkgsrc/distfiles/gmplayer and copy or symlink the mplayer tarball there.

Clean: I don't know.  It looks like the gmplayer directory is there so gui skins are all in one place.
