You don't need to have a Ipaq or Sharp Zaurus to develop Mono or Gtk# for
Familiar Linux and OpenZaurus.

http://familiar.handhelds.org/
http://www.openzaurus.org/oz_website/content/news

It is crosscompiling (development is done x86 for arm platform).
Here is instruction howto:

It is not advisable to compile in Ipaq but probably can be done. As
explained above.

I hope we can have mono packages on Familiar soon.
