Geoff already answered this question;   The issue that you have to face
is that you will need to bundle Mono with your application.

The minimum I believe is something like 7.5 (see what Unity-generated
games produce on the Mac).

Not at all.   You will still need to test it, and make sure that your
application works fine (you might have used Win32 APIs, or you might run
into bugs in Mono that you have to work around).

Either one works.   But if you port it to Linux, we would be very
grateful, and we would go out of our way to help you as you are helping
us bring more apps to Linux ;-)

This list.

And yes, Mono can get your game over.
