Most likely you're not cvsup'ing ports-all (a big mistake), and you've
omitted post-base from your supfile.  I recommend doing ports-all
instead of listing out modules.

That said, mono doesn't work very well at all on FreeBSD, so you may not
get very far.  But if you're going to hack on the garbage collector and
fix mono on FreeBSD, great!  Good luck.
