No, if you use the framebuffer system (system=fbdev).
Yes, if you use SDL (system=sdl) or X11 system (system=x11).

Never tried that, but teorically it's possibile.
DirectFB must be started without hardware support, i.e. by using vesafb
or disabling the driver explicitly (e.g. disable-module=radeon), and you
have to set vt-switching=yes in your ~/.directfbrc.
Then you can start Mplayer on a vt, switch to another vt (press ALT+Fn),
then start xorg.
