To start off, you'll need a certificate authority bundle... apt-file
tells me of a few packages in unstable which ship such a file:

kdelibs-data: usr/share/apps/kssl/ca-bundle.crt
libapache-mod-ssl: etc/apache/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt
libcurl2: usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt
sympa: usr/share/sympa/ca-bundle.crt

Likely, libcurl2 will already be installed, so you should be able to
either copy /usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt to
~/.smime/ca-bundle.crt, symlink it, or in your .muttrc:
set smime_ca_location="/usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt"

That'll at least get you a bit farther along...I believe you'd then be
able to view S/MIME messages without seeing those icky errors... sending
them would be another story, however.
