You could still install them in their own dir, by setting the
MONO_GAC_PREFIX env var. This is preferable to bundling.

Well, if you don't provide the error, we can't tell you what error you
did while configuring. Anyway, I have no idea what "give libmono.0.dylib
the install_name @application_path" means in the context of using
--prefix. --prefix is used to install and make the runtime lookup its
files from directories under the give prefix.

Reading the mkbundle manpage or the mkbundle usage lines may be helpful:
just include all the assemblies to bundle on the command line or use the
--deps option to include all the referenced assemblies.
