There is student interest in doing Unicon on .net, but it is a large
endeavor that is not likely to succeed without a funding sponsor.

You seem to be asking for a .net implementation of the iconx VM, rather
than a "native" translator. If a full-featured C compiler is available that
generates .net CLR code, it ought to be reasonable to try a port sometime.

In other words, suppose that I have a translated file produced with icont
called "myprogram".  I can execute it with
  iconx myprogram
and I am wondering if anybody might be looking into implementing an
interpreter (in C# or some other compiler that produces IL) so that a
person could invoke
  ilrun iconx-dotnet myprogram
(assuming that such an interpreter were named iconx-dotnet).

Note that what I am not talking about an Icon/Unicon compiler that
produces IL code (in a manner similar to Jcon); I really mean an
Icon/Unicon interpreter.

Please forgive me for not using the LDIF list.  I'm posting here because
this is a "what" question rather than a "how" or "how should" question.

Thanks for any news that anyone might have.
