Yes, but you probably don't want to overwrite the distro-provided assemblies.  You should instead overwrite assemblies from a parallel mono build; see also:

No problem if you use the VS2010 IDE. There would be problems if you downloaded and used the .NET reference sources, which VS2010 occasionally will kindly offer to install...
