Certainly one can use them. One can implement the server side interface to support the MS implementation (e.g. a custom implementation of System.Web.Host), of which Cassini and several other containers are nice examples. We would be ill advised to actually implement those MS dot net ourselves, System.Web.Services etc... Mono isn't based in the US so they aren't concerned, but care enough about their US users to set those implementations aside in a separate package. If we targeted those, perhaps that could be a problem, perhaps not. But it sounds like Castle does much more than that, and any thunks into MS's, mono's or another cli and it's interfaces will be incidental.
