You'd need to get a Mac and build a distribution package compatible with Mac. I have no idea how software is distributed on Linux.

My understanding for linux (which is second hand - I've not actually done this) is that you will require Mono installed on the machine. If this is done, then a MONO compiled executable will 'just run' as the OS will figure out that it is a managed application.

However, if you are talking about something bigger than just an executable - something with packages that need installing - then there is no simple answer. Each linux distro does this differently. The most generic way would be to make you application stand alone and have all paths relative, so it can just be untarred and run in place.

I suspect your question is too general to have a single answer - but I might be wrong.

The odds are low that MonoDevelop creates installers. If you google and you can't find any info, there's no guarentee or even likelihood that it exists.
