I don't know how common Monte is on Sao Miguel, but there is a Monte family from Sao Miguel from the late 1600s that settled in Terceira.
But I suppose there could be a lot of ways and reasons a person could start using do Monte as a surname. Maybe they first lived in the castle at Monte do Brasil, moved to Sao Miguel, then back to Terceira. :-)
