Maybe some VB stuff is usefull, especially the VB namespace in the framework (Microsoft.VisualBasic, don't really renember)
However, a compiler is not really _needed_. VB programs compiled to IL (as usual) should already run on mono without special problems afaik.
Foor the IDE, I really hope #develop comes to linux/mono soon, and its VB tools are already quite good (dont't mention the Forms Designer, i know). That will allow more serious VB development with linux.
Anyways, I'm sticking with C#, for me it makes the code easier to read. (VB source files tend to get so full, and C# looks a bit cleaner in the way of beginning and ending 'sections': { and } :P)

I'm curious about this as well. I think VB support is crucial to getting Mono into many small businesses with VB hackers who want to use .NET and are limited to very small budgets. Not to mention the large enterprises that use VB for all kinds of business applications. It is known to be the most widely used business language, afterall (at least it was a couple years ago). . . Just my $.02.
