Fedora legacy has a utility called Yum that will allow you to continue
getting updates for your now unsupported version of Red Hat Linux.

If you install Yum you may be able to then add a line to /etc/yum.conf
that has this as a repo location:
[mono]
name=mono
baseurl=http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.0.4/redhat-9-i386

I don't know if that will work with rhl9 but I know it works with FC1 and FC2.

*If* it does work you can then just do yum install mono-complete to
get everything in one step.  By the way, if you search google, you can
find instructions for doing an in-place upgrade to FC1. I upgraded
from RH 8 to FC1 without even doing a reboot.
