The man pages _are_ there but they are hidden away in Mono.framework. As a quick 
manual hack you can add this line to ~/.profile to add them to the MANPATH:

export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/
man

The Mono.framework package installer makes symlinks of the binary executables into /
usr/bin, following a similar convention as other Mac OS X packages such as the Java and 
Python frameworks that Apple distributes. Apple's Java frameworks however also symlink 
their manpages into /usr/share/man, so things like "man java" work as expected.

If the executables are being symlinked, I think it makes a lot of sense to do the same for 
the man pages to make a command-line usable by default -- particularly if the purpose of 
this is to make it act like other native packages which do just that.

(Mono 1.1.8.1 dmg installer on Mac OS X 10.4.1. Current Apple Java 1.4 and XCode 2.1 
dev tools are installed.)

This will be fixed on the upcoming version of Mono in the way
suggested by Brion, we will add symlinks to the /usr/share/man directory
