I have used/rebuilt on rawhide nrpms.net in the past, the only problem
I had was building on x86_64, has a yum.repo for just mono too, 
Matthew Hall has i386/ppc for fc 2/3.  You could look at his spec
files and start from there, or contact him for help/suggestions, small
chance he would want to start something like Mpackage or maybe help
maintain the packages. (not sure)

"If you just want access to mono packages, you need to perform the
following command (as the root user):

rpm -ivh http://repo.nrpms.net/nrpms-mono-release/1/RPMS/nrpms-mono-release-1-1.1.fc3.nr.noarch.rpm
