Yes.  Very simple ones.  Printf() and scanf() style ones. :-)

No.  I imagine it would be straightforward to write a C# DllImport
wrapper for ncurses, but I'm not aware of any existing projects that do
this.

Well, mcs sends output to the console...as do most of the executables
installed by mono (cilc, ilasm, etc.).  However, I suspect you don't
mean this type of console program, as these just send output to the
console (like ls, cat, and most Unix console programs).
