I've just merged what I can out of the BSD# repo into the FreeBSD repo.
Mono 1.1.13.8.1 is a security update.  From the commit.

Update to 1.1.13.8.1
- fix CVE-2006-5072:
        Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE security team discovered that the
        System.CodeDom.Compiler classes used temporary files in an insecure
        way. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite
        arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the
        program. Under some circumstances, a local attacker could also
        exploit this to inject arbitrary code into running Mono processes.

- Add USE_NANT to bsd.mono.mk for those ports I have hanging around
  which require NANT to build.
