Here's what I did:  
# emerge mono  
<snip>  
checking size of void *... 4  
checking for pkg-config... no  
configure: error: You need to install pkg-config  
  
!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.  
!!! Function src_compile, Line 4, Exitcode 1  
!!! ./configure failed  
  
!!! emerge aborting on  /usr/portage/dev-lang/mono/mono-0.13.ebuild .  
#   
  
Evidently, there's no pkg-config in emerge/the portage stuff (I'm still 
horribly new to gentoo, and am not all that clear with the terminology.) 
 
Would someone wrap it up in a bow for the rest of us?

to get your immediate problem of not being able to emerge this sorted, do this:

emerge --clean rsync
emerge pkgconfig
emerge mono

Meanwhile, someone will add pkgconfig as a dependency for mono.

Fixed!  Thanks for the heads-up.
