Okay, after talking to tberman about this, it seems that monodevelop is really fine with ICU-2.6, even though the installation page claims 2.8 is needed. I've just commited a change to the monodevelop ebuilds to only require at least 2.6 support. I've not marked this as =icu-2.6* as I and others have successfully used ICU-2.8 and gtk-sharp together. If you want to post more info about the error you experienced with ICU-2.8 and gtk-sharp, that would help a lot. Marking NEEDINFO, please close this bug or re-open with more details if needed.
