No need to look in the Portfile itself. Just type "port info MPlayer". That will print out the maintainer's complete email address, which in this case ends with macports.org
Wow, for some reason I hadn't ever used that command of port before. The info shows both the description, along with all the dependencies. Here I had been using port search {portname} followed up with port deps {portname} and port variants {portname} to get all the info that can be found in port info {portname}. I must say, I'm quite pleased with that feature, and glad that you mentioned Ryan, since I'll be using it much more in the future.
You should read "man port" and http://guide.macports.org/ ; maybe there will be more things you'd like to know! :-)
