Most of the BCL should be ported easily. ADO.NET, ASP.NET and WinForms would be more compelx... ADO.NET means that each db vendor needs to write a manage provider for their mac database. WinForms relies heavily on the Win32 API. But the complete WPF would be also quite some work: it heavily relies on DirectX.

They couldn't take the Mono code, because that would make the whole thing open source, wouldn't it?
