Even though it would technically work, Apple's requirements for applications on the iPhone state that code can't be interpreted. So if you want to use Mono on the iPhone you will have to precompile all of your .NET assemblies to machine code. This is exactly what Unity is doing, and what any other Mono based applications on the iPhone are doing as well. I haven't tried it myself, but I remember Miguel de Icaza blogging about it here[1]. Hope this helps.
