Ok, if macports isn't installed on your machine, you need to install it.
It's a software management system: 

http://www.macports.org/install.php

Once it's installed, all you need to do is type

sudo port install mutt-devel

and it will download mutt and all it's dependencies, compile them and
install.  I use imap with ssl and headercache so I also include those
variants and instead type:

sudo port install mutt-devel +gdbm+headercache+imap+ssl

Best,
