$ pkg-config --variable=libdir mono
/usr/local/mono-2.4/lib/pkgconfig/../../lib

$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Yeah, I have a specific mono-2.4 environment script that I source based
on notes from here:
http://www.centriment.com/2009/04/01/building-mono-24-from-source-on-ubuntu-810/

#!/bin/bash
MONO_PREFIX=/usr/local/mono-2.4
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/include
export ACLOCAL_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/share/aclocal
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig
PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/bin:$PATH

Yes.

$ cat hello.cs
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
 
public class HelloWorld : Form
{
	static public void Main ()
	{
		Application.Run (new HelloWorld ());
	}
 
	public HelloWorld ()
	{
		Button b = new Button ();
		b.Text = "Click Me!";
		b.Click += new EventHandler (Button_Click);
		Controls.Add (b);
	}
 
	private void Button_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		MessageBox.Show ("Button Clicked!");
	}
}
$ gmcs -pkg:dotnet hello.cs
$ which mono
/usr/local/mono-2.4/bin/mono
$ mono hello.exe
