No, this is not supported, because there are a lot of things that needs to
happen behind the scenes for managed code to work properly (it's not just a

You can do the reverse: use native libraries in MonoTouch. This is
supported - and if you do it this way the only thing you actually need is
the managed Main method, there you can call your native library which does
everything else.
