Please check the updated patch in (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13751), I 
might need to refresh it for changes in the ports tree.

Other than things I have overlooked I think we have a ship-able patch.  There 
are some more things to do, but I don't think show stoppers.

I've split the review into 5 sections, 2 with reviews ready:

- https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13751: ancillary ports
- https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13752: mono (and USES=mono)
- msbuild (depends on mono)
- fsharp (depends on msbuild)
- monodevelop (depends on msbuild)

I suggest you focus on mono, I'll bang out the ancillary ports (hopefully 
tomorrow).

I suggest you try build mono (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13752).  You can 
test by:
 - running the unit tests (i.e. `make test`)
 - run your favourite mono apps
 - try some random mono apps in the ports collection

Excellent to hear.  Any idea as to when FreeBSD will be self-hosting?
