The SCM stuff is completely separate in a way, you can manage that differently. For building a .NET application on Linux, you need to install mono and possibly a package which contains xbuild (this will vary depending on your distro). To use xbuild instead of msbuild, you just need to setup the path to xbuild in the global config area for the msbuild plugin and then select that msbuild install when you setup the job. The msbuild plugin asks for various pieces of information for building. I recommend trying to build your application on the command line on Windows using msbuild to figure out what command line parameters you need in order for it to build the application how you want. Be warned that xbuild may not implement all of the features of msbuild (if you find any that it doesn't, you can file an issue at bugzilla.xamarin.com PLEASE!). For information on using xbuild see [1] and [2]. It's been a while since I used xbuild on Linux to do this, but it should be doable if your app doesn't have any unmanaged components. Feel free to ask more questions as well, and if you do it is always helpful to post build logs, and screen shots of your global and project configs.
