There's a library that maps GTK# menus into the Mac main menu
automatically: http://mjhutchinson.com/journal/2010/01/25/integrating_gtk_application_mac
Someone who cares about Winforms on Mac enough could do this for Winforms too.

MonoDevelop uses Carbon P/Invokes to maps its own command system into
the Mac main menu.

Cocoa C# wrappers such as Monobjc provide access to all the Mac native
GUI APIs directly, though of course this requires you to rewrite your
GUI layer for Mac.
