Yes, but I don't know how portable they are to Windows either.

Alternate choices include Mono.WebBrowser (found in Mono.WebBrowser.dll)
and WebKit.  The C# bindings for WebKit can be found at:

I would imagine that Mono.WebBrowser will be the most capable
cross-platform renderer, as it's the basis for
System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser, so it should run everywhere WebBrowser
does.
