I think that would be fine.  I have an interest in posting and building
rpms anyway, simply because I also submit mono packages to SuSE, where
they would want to build from source anyway.

Here's a wiki page about some app guidelines:

http://www.mono-project.com/Guidelines:Application_Deployment

In this case it comes down to filesystem layout and wrapper scripts.
Boo does a good job at this while using nant, and is a good example to
look at.

I've built a nant rpm and you can see some shell stuff I do here inside
the install tag:

http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/release/conf/nant/ximian-build.conf?view=markup

I hope that doesn't break something, but boo and ikvm build fine using
the resultant nant rpm.
