There's a (by now already quite old) libc5 version in
bo-unstable/binary-i386/mutt_0.88-1bo1.deb .
If you want a newer version, please compile it from source; the Debian mutt
source should still compile on a bo system without problems.

It's not as easy as installing a new package, but it isn't very difficult.

No. You have a fairly big chance of breaking your system that way. You
should use the autoupgrade script which can be found e.g. at
http://www.debian.org/devel/autoup.sh .
