Are you making this statement with regard to building Mono or 
applications that run on Mono?

If it's the first, I agree. For applications, it seems as if
standardizing on NAnt is a valid choice to be made by the 
application developers and might even be a preferred choice
since it allows one build to work on all platforms.

Or am I missing some issue of deployment that NAnt cannot handle?

[BTW, I'm currently deciding how to deploy NUnitLite, so it's
a pretty central question for me.]
