There is a pretty good amount of 3.5 already implemented in Mono 2.0+. 
Things like LINQ should work.

On the other hand, there is very little of .Net 3.0 implemented in Mono 
(no WPF, no WF, some WCF).

You can compare Mono SVN to .Net 3.5 here:

Most likely, work on .Net 4.0 will not begin until .Net 4.0 is actually 
released.  We have implemented things before based on betas and previews 
of upcoming frameworks, and it bites us in the ass if/when the API's 
change before the final release.
