I was bitten by the same issue, but have found a workaround:

$ mkbundle hello.exe -c -o hello.c --keeptemp

$ cc -arch i386 -g -o hello -Wall hello.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs 
mono-2` temp.o -framework CoreFoundation

So basically, this tells mkbundle to produce and assemble temp.s and 
only produce hello.c which we then compile using the same command 
mkbundle will use, while adding that '-framework' option.

I guess the correct way would be to fix mono-2.pc file to include the 
required option.
