If you use 'port variants mutt-devel' you'll note that you need to select
one of the database backends as well:

   headercache: Enable header caching (requires gdbm, qdbm, or tokyocabinet)

The port should probably error out when headercache is selected but no
database is...

And for what it's worth, 1.5.20 with headercache and tokyocabinet is working
fine here 10.6.1.
