All is well! One of the dependencies that was missing was teTeX, but I
couldn't install it either directly from the ports or via portupgrade
-rR of muttprint itself. Then I got the bright idea of using portmaster
instead of portupgrade and portmaster installed teTeX and another
dependency that muttprint needed.  Now everthing is working and the
print output looks great.
