Kangaroo and I tried this awhile back.  I seem to remember that he got 
it sorta working.  The problem is that gtk is a dependency NIGHTMARE.  
It truly is awful and it might not be reliable until MonoDevelop starts 
using cocoa#.  (That might not ever happen.)

has a build script, but it sucks.

The better bet would be to modify the work that DarwinPorts has done so 
that it fits our needs.
