Why not? Just configure it --with-slang, make, make install, and
rename the executable (mv -i /usr/local/bin/mutt
/usr/local/bin/mutt-slang), then configure it again, this time
--with-curses, and install the other executable by hand (mv -i mutt
/usr/local/bin/mutt-curses).
Finally install a script at /usr/local/bin/mutt which decides which
executable to run, depending on the circumstances, perhaps by looking
at $TERM or $TERMINFO.
