For multimedia, I have done the following and it works with no user
intervention.

Install native firefox.
Install linuxpluginwrapper (not flashpluginwrapper).

It will install acroread7, realplayer and flash6 if not installed.  

On 6.x and above, copy
/usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD5-current
to /etc/libmap.conf

I also install mplayer and mplayer-plugin.

A few flash heavy sites will freeze firefox, such as tvguide.com if you
go the listings and click on a listing.  

For those I use linux-firefox.  I actually install it from source rather
than ports, and leave it in my $HOME directory.  

With this, firefox will work with flash (6 however, not 7) realplayer,
mplayer (for avis, most windows media player files) and the like. 

I believe mplayer also works with most quicktime stuff though you might
have to install another program (I've forgotten how I did it, and a
quick search of /var/db/pkg isn't giving me the answer, but I remember
it was relatively trivial, the first or second hit on google.)

This has worked consistantly for me since 5.x
