Turns out I found a bug-report on bugs.guug.de/db/20/2020.html.
Search for "mail/mutt does not detect color capability".

It appears the configure program needs patching and calls
#include (curses.h) when it should #include (ncurses.h).
Instances of curses.h should be replaced by nurses.h.  I did this
with a sourceball I d/led from mutt.org and the compile properly
detected my color capability.  Sounds like a patch needs to be
added to the port.
