Depends on complexity of your app and APIs used (assemblies).

Few years ago MoMA would tell you a lot:

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/tools+libraries/tools/moma/
https://github.com/mono/moma

but today is outdated.

Generally if you have lasagne (layered) architecture (project structure) 
with separate DLLs for business-logic/domain-logic try compiling those 
projects on desktop mono with recent Xamarin Studio or MonoDevelop.

UI layer will probably need to be rewritten in GTK#. This might be the 
"hardest" part - learning new UI toolkit.

Data would be similar story, but slightly less difficult.

There is ongoing effort in merging Microsoft's reference source into 
mono, but it still not over (yet), so there are some differences and w/o 
more info about your app there is not much to say.

thanks
