It is currently a non-starter; from 
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/apisupport:

        Unsupported Software Features
        • Apps that utilize native code bundled into their APK file

This describes every Mono for Android app, as they all embed a native 
libmonodroid.so file into the .apk.

I would guess that this is because the Playbook is running a userland/libc 
incompatible with Android's bionic, and thus shared libraries built for Android 
 won't properly link on the Playbook.

(This also means that e.g. neither Angry Birds nor Mozilla Firefox Android 
packages will work on the Playbook unchanged, as both also rely on native 
libraries, so we're in good company...)
