I'm almost sure that the Gtk# problems with libpthread can be blamed on
glib2, which should be fixed by now. Still not sure about the rest.
There are still some bugs in the Web Services part of mono, I'm still
working on it. My guess is that it's not a FreeBSD only problem.

What's the error? I got monodevelop to build on NetBSD a while ago, I'll
give it a go on FreeBSD. monodoc built fine although there are still
some bugs.

Well, that commit is from Jan 2003. Some of the comments (FreeBSD
defaulting to userland threading) no longer apply as we have an almost
bug free kernel-assisted threading implementation. I'll try to find some
time to give it a go. Have you per chance contacted that Martin guy to
see if he's still working on FreeBSD support? It would be very
interesting to have other developers working on a FreeBSD/mono
environment.

Cheers,
