What is your mplayer/gmplayer version? `pkg_info | grep mplayer` will probably tell you.

Is the underlying menu entry the same command that you run in the
terminal?

mplayer-0.99.10_5

I have tried running mplayer and gmplayer via the 'run' command, but
that fails also with the same error message.


Well, 0.99.8_5 here, although portupgrade -arR is running on ttyv0, so I may be installing a broken player also. I assume you have tried under another WM such as good old TWM? Same result? What about on the console (no X)? Are you playing video files or audio (probably video)?

The "[ws] Shared Memory Extensions Error" sounds pretty application-specific to me. It's possible the xfce people should have referred you to mplayer as well as FBSD. I'm guessing somewhere
between mplayer and X11 and FreeBSD.

What about recompiling whilst passing

        --disable-shm

        to configure?

Also, I assume you're on X.org, correct?
