That's what I do. I have all my common settings in one file
(.muttrc.common), and then a set of .muttrc.<account> files
that each source the common file and then set whatever custom
stuff is needed for that account.
I don't usually invoke mutt from the command line, but rather
do it with the per-account buttons in the XFCE mailwatcher
applet (it's sort of like gbiff or gbuffy).
When I do invoke mutt from the command line, I have a symlink
from .muttrc to the .muttrc.<account> file for the account I
most use.
