I'm not likely terribly helpful in the matter since I just use the
stock package rather than building from ports.

When I started, sidebar was the one notable patch I used most
frequently.  However, as best I can tell, that's made it into
mainline mutt, and I've kinda dropped use of the sidebar since I
found it used too much screen-space for the (lack of value) it
provided me so I don't use it any more.

All that to say I'm not strongly attached to any current patches
to mutt on FreeBSD (or OpenBSD, FWIW)
