Maybe I can try it out if you poing me in the right direction :)

Yes, I tried Mono 2.2 and 2.4 from the installer.
I believe OS X uses DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. I tried adding the path to  
libglib-2.0 (which is /opt/local/lib/) but I didn't quite work... it  
started complaining about other libraries upon starting (http:// 
pastebin.com/m1db31e7b).

I also tried adding the path of the libraries referenced in the  
errors to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH but no go...
