Attached is a how-to list of building Mono on OSX that worked for me.

Building Mono on a Mac Snow Leopard
All this was done while logged in as root.
The default compilers are 64 bit (version 4.2) so you need to
set the symlinks to the older 32 bit (version 4.0) compilers.
cd /usr/bin
rm c++
rm cc
rm g++
rm gcc
rm gcov
ln -s c++-4.0 c++
ln -s gcc-4.0 cc
ln -s g++-4.0 g++
ln -s gcc-4.0 gcc
ln -s gcov-4.0 gcov
To set them back
cd /usr/bin
rm c++
rm cc
rm g++
rm gcc
rm gcov
ln -s c++-4.2 c++
ln -s gcc-4.2 cc
ln -s g++-4.2 g++
ln -s gcc-4.2 gcc
ln -s gcov-4.2 gcov
The package sources are kept in
cd /Users/Developer/BUILD
and were obtained from open source web sites (mono-project.com, gnu.org, etc.)
For each package
cd <package folder> (highlite package name with mouse, Cmnd+C, Cmnd+V is your
friend)
Build in the following order (version suffix not shown here)
1.) pkg-config
2.) gettext
3.) glib (./configure --disable-dtrace)
4.) jpeg
5.) tiff
6.) giflib
7.) libpng
8.) fontconfig
9.) freetype
10.) libexif
11.) libgdiplus (see note below)
12.) mono
All of these packages are built by going to the package folder and running
make distclean
./configure (--flags - see above)
make
make install
If you mess up then
cd /usr/local
rm -r *
and start all over again.
If the build is good
cd /usr/local
cp -a * /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.9 (or wherever you want
mono put)
Note:
The configure file for libgdiplus needs to have the following line commented
out:
ac_configure_args="$ac_configure_args --disable-quartz-font"
so that quartz fonts can be picked up as well as freetype fonts.
Comment out "cairo_quartz_font_face_create_for_atsu_font_id" in
cairo/src/cairo-quartz.h
cairo/src/cairo-quartz-font.c
if you get compiler errors.
