Real Player 10 is available in ports.
The only ports that use win32-codecs are:
multimedia/avifile
multimedia/mplayer
multimedia/mplayerxp
multimedia/xine
multimedia/xmps-win32-plugin
As outputed by:
find /usr/ports -type f -name Makefile -exec fgrep \
'win32-codecs' /dev/null {} \;
I visited MPlayer and Xine websites and they seem to support streaming
(maybe Xine works??).
Good Luck.
P.S.: please CC to the list.
