On OS X I use a config file based dll map to map System.Data.SQLite to the required dylib in my app bundle.

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/pinvoke/dllmap/

Note the map goes in the dll config not the app config so you may need to consider this relative to your situation.

System.Data.SQLIte.dll.config:

<dllmap dll="sqlite3" target="../Mono//sqlite3/libsqlite3.8.5.dylib" os="!windows”/>

I also build and run a 64 bit mono without problems.
