Actually (correct me if I'm wrong), I believe MonoDevelop was born as a
port from SharpDevelop. Besides SharpDevelop lets you choose the
platform you are going to work with and the compiler (meaning mono /
ms.net and mcs / csc) 
So, I don't think porting MD would be of much use...
 
If you want to work on windows use SD, and if you wan't to work on
linux use MD.

 <pre wrap="">Hey guys.... I really like the initiatives you guys are taking with .NET on linux. I wish more programmers understood good .NET was and how much it would help Linux compete in the open market. I was wondering if you guys were going to do a port to make monodevelop run on both sides, windows and linux. It would be a dream to build .NET software on both sides and just have them compile on linux.

Early on when MonoDevelop was first released I think I read something
along the lines of 'at present, MonoDevelop runs only on linux'.  I'm
interested to know what is required to run MD on Windows, but using Gtk#
rather than SWF (which has already been discussed recently).  I've only
just started getting familiar with Gtk#, but all the examples I've tried
so far have worked on Windows as well as linux, so I'm wondering what
the main problem areas are, and whether any effort is currently going
into this. 

The MD Core + Addins architecture looks ideal as the framework for a
number of my own applications that I'd like to bring up to date, but
again it would be nice to have both linux and Windows versions with the
same GUI toolkit, rather than build one up using SWF and the other with
Gtk#.

    <pre wrap="">We depend on a shrinking amount of gnome specific stuff. By shrinking, I
don't mean we are actively removing them, I mean that they are starting
to work on windows also.  Two things here: 1) some gnome c-libs do not
have win32 ports yet 2) libgnomeui is sort of deprecated and these
things are moving into GTK+ in newer releases.

Some of the underlying libraries will likely be ported with evolution to
windows.  Some (like gtksourceview and the managed dock) may already
work as is or with small changes.

I think you should be able to write a portable Gtk# application using
the core of monodevelop without too many problems right now.  One thing
you might want to be aware of is since we are pre-1.0 there is no API
stability assurances right now.
