Thanks for the tip.
So I started looking up "Mac bundles" and I found this link:
http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:Running_Mono_Applications and a section at
the very end called "Macpack, Mac OS X only"

Is this the way I do it?  But I am not using cocoa sharp...

...
"macpack is a tool that must be used to bundle Cocoa# applications into
Double-Clickable, Finder friendly, bundles on Mac OS X. It bundles static
libraries and resources, as well as generates a basic info.plist into the
.app bundle. 

For example the following commands are used to build the
CurrencyConverter.exe into an application bundle: 

$ mcs -g -debug+ CurrencyConverter.cs -out:CurrencyConverter.exe
-pkg:cocoa-sharp
$ rm -rf CurrencyConverter.app
$ macpack -m:2 -o:. 
-r:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/
libCocoaSharpGlue.dylib
        -r:CurrencyConverter.nib -n:CurrencyConverter
-a:CurrencyConverter.exe
"
