Oddly enough, we were just discussing a similar thing yesterday, but decided
against it.
I am currently using mutt with mh-style directories on my local machine,
without difficulties. And if it /does/ cause difficulties, just IMAP to
localhost. Mutt and IMAP seem to play nicely together, I've been using it
with cyrus for about a year now, with no issues (aside from configuration
issues).
The hard part will be converting your current mbox-style mailboxes over to
maildir-style mailboxes, IMHO.
