Why? There have been other cases of CVS/SVN packages in stable Fedora Extras. 
AFAIK, stable versions are preferred, but if the snapshot is the only version 
which works, it's surely better than nothing, so it will be allowed. You could 
risk upsetting the developers (as has happened with gnome-pilot, see 
fedora-devel-list, so you may want to ask them if they're OK with it), but 
AFAIK it's not against Fedora rules as long as you can justify it (and "the 
stable version does not even compile" is enough of a justification). The naming 
convention is mod_mono-1.1.14-0.svn20060404 if I'm not mistaken.
