Yes you can, but I don't recommend you to do this.

Some days ago a link to compiled mplayer was in this list, search for it.

gcc from cygwin (www.cygwin.com)
There is mailing list regading mplayer + cygwin.

Anyway, in my opinion you shouldn't use mplayer under win. There are a
lot of players, some of them has features that even mplayer lacks ;) -
for example, Crystal Player developed by my familiar
(http://rain.ifmo.ru/~bondkim).
And mplayer under windows is much worse then mplayer under *nix.
