I don't know what mono_set_dirs is, or why you would need to use it. If you've installed the MDK in the normal way, and you're building and running your app in the normal way, you shouldn't need to do anything.

The mono class libraries are MIT licensed, so if you need to distribute those with your app, should be easy for you to comply. The mono runtime is GPL, so unless your app is GPL, you'll have a license conflict trying to distribute mono with your app legally.

If you pay for Xamarin.Mac, you are licensed to bundle the mono runtime with your non-GPL app. In fact, when you build your app, Xamarin by default bundles it automatically for you into the .app.
