Michael,

From the port directory, e.g. /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer, type this:

cat pkg-plist | more

This will show you the list of files and directories that were installed by 
the

make install

command.

If you are using csh for your shell then the newly installed files will not be 
immediately available unless you type

rehash

from the shell where you invoked make.

Good luck!
