Yes: an .exe.config with a <dllmap/>:

	http://mono-project.com/DllMap

However, this really shouldn't be necessary; mono includes a default dllmap in $prefix/etc/mono/config which _should_ contain an appropriate remapping, e.g. on OS X:

	  <dllmap dll="libc" target="libc.dylib" os="!windows"/>                        

However, for that to work you need to use the same value in your [DllImport], e.g. from mono/mcs/class/corlib/Linux/Linux.cs:

	[DllImport("libc", EntryPoint="getpid")]
	private unsafe static extern int _getPid(); 

What library are you using in your [DllImport]'s? Could you try using "libc" and see if that fixes things?
