As Steve Lessard mentioned, you can provide a 'CSC /doc'-style XML file for your assembly, and MonoDevelop will read the XML.  You can also provide assembled monodoc documentation [0].

Assembled documentation (e.g. foo.zip, foo.tree, foo.source) should be placed into $prefix/lib/monodoc/sources.

Once installed, you can also view your documentation within monodoc (on Linux & OSX).
