Cesare is right, there is no mplayer-g4 in debian. Feel free to file a
bug if there is something missing in the mplayer-nogui package.

Nowadays mplayer's runtime cpu detection is good enough so that this
hack is no longer necessary.

If you have evidence that cpudetection doesn't work on your g4, then we
can perhaps do something about that in the mplayer package (like
compiling mplayer twice on powerpc or something).

Please don't support a 3rd party archive that is shipping packages that
are 

a) non-free
b) known to break packages in debian
c) and having a maintainer that doesn't give a sh** about debian
