The standard Unix functions are implemented in namespace
Mono.Unix in assembly Mono.Posix, but the fork calls aren't 
working from managed code.

I have done a C daemon using Embedded Mono to run a
Windows Service implemented in .NET on Linux. I have 
sent a first proposal to Mono-Devel list some days ago:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.mono.devel/10777

You can take the attached daemon as starting point for 
your own implementation or help promoting the inclusion 
of something like that in Mono ;-)
