Some dependencies will be counted multiple times that way, try

   pkg_info -rx mplayer|grep Dependency:| sort | uniq | wc -l

to get a more reasonable number.

I don't have mplayer on my system so I can't check that particular  
one, but here's another example

  $ pkg_info -rx docproj | grep '^Depend'  | wc -l
      143
  $ pkg_info -rx docproj | grep '^Depend'  | sort | uniq | wc -l
       57

I really have no idea of how the pkg database works so I don't know  
whether it treats those duplications wisely.

I believe that I've seen what seems like needless repetitions of  
"cleaning for FOO".
