No, mono does not care what handles the graphics side of things, there
is a version of Gtk for mono called Gtk# or GtkSharp, and it works
well. There is also the winforms implementation for mono to provide
the Windows like API and look too as well as other GUI toolkits.

The only issues are that what ever tool kit you decide to use must be
installed on the computer you wish to run the application on. Clearly
on a .NET platform that will be winforms by default and Gtk# is an
extra package while on Linux there tends to be a host of GUI tool kit
mono packages available in your favorite package manager.
