That /usr/bin/mplayer doesn't use Gpm directly:
$ objdump -x /usr/bin/mplayer|grep -i NEEDED|grep gpm

$ rpm -q --whatrequires libgpm.so.2
gpm-1.20.5-1.fc10.i386
vim-enhanced-7.2.025-2.fc10.i386
aalib-libs-1.4.0-0.16.rc5.fc10.i386
$ objdump -x /usr/bin/mplayer|grep -i NEEDED|grep libaa
  NEEDED               libaa.so.1
