slrn can save posts to a file that mutt will recognise as an mbox folder.
I've been doing this for ages. I use slrn for news but I use mutt to review
past posts.
IIRC, by default, posts go to ~/News/posts and email replies get record in
~/News/replies. I have symlinks to them from my ~/Mail directory.

Ahh, here are the entries in ~/.slrnrc that control this, perhaps they
aren't defaults after all:
,----[ Excerpt from my ~/.slrnrc ]
| % Save posts and replies
| set save_posts "News/posts"
| set save_replies "News/replies"
`----
I know this doesn't address your wider question of having nntp support in
mutt but I thought it worth pointing out that your method of saving posts to
a mail folder was long-winded when slrn can do it directly for you.
