Realplayer is not required or indeed anything to do with BBC iPlayer, which 
uses the Adobe flashplayer, so you can safely get rid of Realplayer.
Similarly, Mplayer is nothing to do with iPlayer (and Kmplayer is just  a 
front-end for it.

Info about Adobe flashplayer is here -

and for me, it works great both in Konqueror & Firefox3 (Konq does throw the 
odd wobbly sometimes)!!
