SharpDevelop has VS2005 project support. The code can be imported to
MonoDevelop even now. But there is one important problem. Code reads
files from solution, writes it on exiting and so on. But it's using
MSBuild for build (executes method Project.Build ("Build")). With the
current state of MSBuild implementation in Mono it won't work.

Maybe someone can use code from SharpDevelop to make addins that
converts project files to MonoDevelop format. Paco Martinez was doing
something to add support of VS2005 to his converting program (already
used in MonoDevelop).
