A:
I think you are looking for xbuild: http://www.mono-project.com/Microsoft.Build

A:
xbuild is not yet complete (it works quite well with VS2005 .csproj files, has problems with VS2008 .csproj and does not handle .sln). Mono 2.1 plans to merge the code base of mdtool (MonoDevelop command line build engine) into it, but currently mdtool is a better choice. mdtool build -f:project.sln or man mdtool if you have MonoDevelop installed.

apparently mdtool has been renamed to mdrun

It's the other way round, you have an outdated MonoDevelop.

This answer is out of date. xbuild now builds .sln files perfectly well.
