Hi,

There is a program called xanim that allow you to play those files. The one
that comes with the port package in FreeBSD 2.1 won't work because it don't
include the object files needed to play them. But you can find both the
last version of xanim and those object files on the FreeBSD ftp site at:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles

You need those files:

xanim27043.tar.gz
xa2.0_cvid_netbsd386.o.Z

If you wan't support for AVI files, take also that one:
xa2.0_iv32_netbsd386.o.Z
