Spending a holiday fixing various things on the desktop – talk about 0 $life. Anyway, I fixed the rhythmbox+esd issue. Turns out that /var/db/ports/rhythmbox/options had WITH_XINE= set. Must have enabled Xine some point in time and then forgot about it. rm'ing it and portupgrade -f rhythmbox has Rhythmbox purring via esd now.
root@buffy# cat /var/db/ports/rhythmbox/options
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for rhythmbox-0.8.8_1
_OPTIONS_READ=rhythmbox-0.8.8_1
WITH_XINE=true
WITH_MONKEYMEDIA=true
WITHOUT_IPOD=true
Other desktop fixes for the day includes fixing the cursor keys in Bash and Tcsh.
.cshrc
if ($term == "xterm" || $term == "vt100" || $term == "vt102" || $term !~ "con*") then
# bind keypad keys for console, vt100, vt102, xterm

bindkey "\e[7~" beginning-of-line # Home rxvt
