Apache has a number of CI options available... For details, see: http://ci.apache.org/
I'd suggest Hudson. Regarding Mono support, I think providing a MonoDevelop compatible solution file, and testing builds in at least one standard Linux environment will be necessary. I'd suggest Ubuntu 10.4 or 10.10. Regarding NuGet for dependencies.. I'd say we should not do that at this time. Primarily because, AFAIK, NuGet is an add-on for Visual Studio which can only be used in a paid-for version of 2010. You can't use it with the Express versions. You can't use it in MonoDevelop. So, we'd be raising the barrier of entry to only those who have a licensed version of Visual Studio 2010. I think including .hgignore and/or .gitignore files are a smart move.
