strictly speaking these are issues with current mono svn that nant 
happens to run into. The config file issue is I think because of this bug:

http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=62913
where the 2.0 profile is assumed even if it hasn't been installed.


The compiler issue is the one you get when compiling NDocTask.cs ? That 
is a bug in mcs where it confuses a property named "Project" with a 
class called "Project". I've been meaning to log it in bugzilla just as 
soon as I get a simple test case together. btw your nant-ndoc-task.patch 
[1] workaround would be a lot simpler by changing:

attr.Value = Project.ExpandProperties(attr.Value, Location); to 
attr.Value = this.Project.ExpandProperties(attr.Value, Location);

rather than fully qualifying every reference to a NDoc type.
