Well you don't actually need the "Site" directory if you don't want it.
My web.config file looks like this:
<httpHandlers>
<add path="*.vm" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler"
validate="true"/>
<add path="*.haml" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler"/>
<add path="*.njs" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler"
validate="true"/>
<add path="*.aspx" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory"
validate="true"/>
<add verb="*" path="*.*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler"/>
<add verb="*" path="*"
type="Castle.MonoRail.Framework.MonoRailHttpHandlerFactory,
Castle.MonoRail.Framework"/>
</httpHandlers>

Subject: Re: Static Content in the Monorail site root
Thanks for the follow up John. Yes, I managed to get it working
taking a clue from James, but instead of what he wrote I had to add
the following to the web.config's httpHandlers section:
<add path="Site/*.*" verb="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler"/>
