I know Darian Lanx recently did some work on making boehm gc play nicer 
on OSX, but I don't know if he ever got out of the testing stage and 
sent his patches back upstream.  I'll ask him for his changes and we'll 
see if it helps mono any.

Also note that it's best not to use the SysV poll calls, they're 
actually just an integrated version of the "poll-emulator" (libpoll in 
Fink) package so if you can implement things efficiently without using 
poll you're better off doing so.
