It works out of the box for me, on rh9 with latest cvs mono and
valgrind-2.1.1.

You might need to a) make sure mono's configure finds the
valgrind/memcheck.h file so the jit doesn't try and call a couple of
pthread functions that valgrind doesn't emulate, and b) up the pthread
stack size in coregrind/vg_include.h.
