Comment(by puddingpop@…):

 Thanks Rob!  This was really helpful, but I didn't want to uninstall and
 reinstall all of my ports.  Starting with your instructions (and your
 Portfile), I found an easier alternative:

 {{{
 Install the glib2 and zlib universal ports

 # port upgrade --enforce-variants glib2 +universal zlib +universal

 Replace the current Portfile for mono with the one attached to this ticket

 Install mono

 # port install mono

 }}}

 --brian
