I don't think so.  I have mutt set up to periodically check my mbox 
inbox, but I use a POP inbox only infrequently and I haven't tried 
setting up mutt to check it automatically.  From the descriptions in 
the mutt manual and from my brief look at the source code, I would 
expect pop_checkinterval and mail_check to behave similarly, but I 
have not verified the behavior of pop_checkinterval myself, and I'm 
not set up to test it at the moment.

I'm cc'ing the mutt-users list in case someone else might be able to 
offer more insight.

Regards,
Gary
