Not strictly mono, but also open source project implementing the .Net
runtime and tools, Portable.Net has a C compiler they claim works:

http://www.dotgnu.org/pnet.html

I haven't ever used it personally nor looked at it, but it probably works
fine when compiling C to IL. It won't run under mono, though - you need the
pnet runtime.

Another option you have is hidden at

svn://svn.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/lcc

which is a retargettable C compiler which is described in the "A
Retargettable C compiler: Design and Implementation" and which can emit CIL.
Not sure how good/buggy the output is, as I've never used lcc either.
 
hope that helps,
