Sorry for the delay in response.  Maxim did the mono port, and I have
not played with it at all.  I can't speak for Maxim, but I think it
would be nice to see you breath some new life in the port.

If you can update our port to a version that makes mono happy, that
would be ideal.  However, if, in doing so, you break the handful of
other ports that depend on boehm-gc, you might consider making a special
mono port until which time the other ports will work with it.

I'm sure there would be more than a few users very interested.  Perhaps
you might dangling this out to ports@ to see if you can drum up for C#
user support.
