There's also gmplayer, or xine (the latter from blastwave;
also, if the out-of-the-box version of the former doesn't work,
try blastwave's version). Not sure if ogle handles those, haven't tried.

Since totem is supposed to be just a front-end for xine,
and is also available on blastwave, I suppose you could try that too.

To fetch blastwave packages, first set up pkg-get; see

http://www.blastwave.org/pkg-get.php

Once that's done and working (i.e. the pkg-get -U updates the local
copy of the catalog), you should be able to say

# pkg-get totem

which should download and install totem and all its dependencies.
Expect that to take quite awhile (and quite a few MB of disk space),
there are probably quite a few dependencies, counting both the
direct and indirect ones.

Note: I've used blastwave's xine on SPARC (but probably not on x86);
as best I recall, I haven't tried totem at all.

BTW, gmplayer probably handles a number of formats (such as wmv) that
xine doesn't, but gmplayer is to my way of thinking less friendly than xine
(or probably totem either, for that matter).
