Have you heard of DotGNU and Portable.NET?  That might be more of a 
direction.  The focus there is more for cross-platform.  But the FORMS 
is not very attractive, but it works.  There might be something under 
that umbrella.

The Mono project is focused heavily on mainstream platforms like Linux, 
MacOSX and yes Windows.  If it really takes off and becomes popular, it 
could perhaps even circumvent MS strategy of global domination of the 
software industry. :-)  There undoubtedly will be momentum to port it to 
the BSDs, and since MacOSX is bsd-like, this is more hopeful.

In the mean time, if I could get my X to work like I want it to, then 
I'll try more fun stuff like this...
