So you have to do some research how to use up2date, apt/synaptic or yum and point to various alternative repositories (the libs you quote are partly from DAG's repository - at least at my FC3).
I use apt/synaptics - because I have learnt how to keep FC3 quite vanilla and not being hindred to point to alternative repositories.
My recommendation is: get apt and synaptic (the graphic front end for apt) from freshrpms.net.
I attach my /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/preferences which you can use as a model to configure yours (or just copy it) - I hope this is not a breach of rules here in the list.
Then do a: # apt-get update # apt-get install mplayer mplayer-fonts mplayer-skins
All the dependencies will be resolved through apt.
Alternatively you can use synaptics - which is a very mighty graphical front-end for apt.
It is not as complicated as it seems - and you will learn quite a lot about FCX and alternative repositories as well.
