Okay thanks for the context :). Then the more accurate question is: is 
Portable.NET
a ressource for the Mono project or are Mono project participant
encouraged to rewrite all the things that might already be coded in 
pnetlib CVS?

 From their web site www.dotgnu.org:

<<We're building something that could be called an "operating system for 
the internet" - a collection of tools that allow software components to 
interact with each other over the internet. The most impressive parts 
are currently DotGNU Portable.NET which builds a C# compiler, class 
library, and related development tools, and phpGroupWare, a multi-user 
web-based GroupWare suite, which also serves to provide a good 
collection of webservice components, all of which can be accessed 
through XML-RPC so that you can easily integrate them into webservice 
applications of your own.

DotGNU, a project of FreeDevelopers and GNU, is really a meta-project 
that will consist of a good number of such software development 
projects. The main objectives of DotGNU are to build a webservices 
platform and a Virtual Identities system.
