The mutt-devel port has this patch integrated:

	% grep NNTP /usr/ports/mail/mutt-devel/Makefile | head -1
	#  WITH_MUTT_NNTP

I've used it for a while, and you will most certainly find the
following bindings very useful in your .muttrc file if you use it too:

	bind   index      C       change-newsgroup
	bind   pager      C       change-newsgroup

This is similar to 'c' which changes mail folders, and I find it very
easy to remember.

The port dumps core on me on -current while it attempts to close the
nntp connection, and I have started using Emacs + gnus to read some
Usenet stuff, because right now I have no time to debug the problems
it appears to have... but I thought I'd post this anyway.
