The bug linked elsewhere in this thread says it was dropped upstream in 2010, 
but also that it was reanimated in 2013.

It's mentioned if you unpack the source for MPlayer-1.2.1, currently in the 
Portage tree, and run `./configure --help`:

   $ ./configure --help | grep -i gui
  --enable-gui   enable GMPlayer compilation (GTK+ GUI) [disable]
  --language-msg=langlanguage to use for the messages and the GUI [en]
   $ 

If I were OP I'd start from there, and the attachment igel uploaded to bgo on 
2013-07-22.

Stroller.

If you have the time I'm sure the project would appreciate a
documentation bug report.

It is mentioned in the _German_ translation of the man page.
I don't know what the original version says because it
didn't get installed here.

I thought that particular binary was abandoned *years* ago by mplayer -
it was unmaintained?

Looks like cruft is left in the man page

It is mentioned in "man mplayer". It's the graphical user
inferface.

Which program are you looking for? I found a program called "gmplayer"
but it is written in Visual Basic. There is another one available from
npm but I'm not sure that is what you want, either. Did you perhaps
mean something like gnome-mplayer?

The name you are looking for isn't in portage, so if you're sure you
have the proper binary name you will need to compile and install it
yourself.
