Because of the old installation of X is SuSE 8 SLES, we do not support
any of the GUI functionality in terms of packages.

I think if you use the zip file for SLES 8, it'll provide you with a
complete stack (dependency-wise) of Mono modules, except for those that
require to run gtk# or Windows Forms (libgdiplus is a dependency for
WinForms)

If you could figure out how to build all the X requirements on SLES 8,
please let me know, I'd like to be able to package it as well, but I
worked for 2, 3 days at it and I couldn't make it work.
