Ryan, use the FreeBSD port under lang/mono, there's a local patch for
this there.  I'll open up a bugzilla this evening to send it upstream.  

There are other patches in the port as well which you will need for Mono
to be useful.  We're trying to submit them upstream but there will be
the odd patch for some time to get Mono to work correctly on FreeBSD and
play nice with other ports.  (For one thing, a non-ports Mono will not
work with gtk-sharp in ports because of our file system hierarchy.)

If you have Mono problems on FreeBSD, take them to the bsd-sharp-list
mailing list, information is available in the link in my sig.  We
support the the FreeBSD port and the BSD# port, not official tarball
installs though.  Thanks.

Tom
