Simple solution:
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk-sharp/ && make clean && make install
(repeat as necessary)


Long solution:
Someone needs to look at the threading issues with Mono and FreeBSD.  If
anyone is interested I can gladly point them to a number of reproducible
crashes.  I keep the mono ports up to date myself while the regular
maintainer is away plus I've added some new ports.  My project site is
in my sig and you can download mono-merge.tar.gz from there to work with
the latest versions of Mono.
