Sean,

As Beagle has so many dependencies, I'd work on keeping things as simple 
as possible.  In particular, try to take all Beagle related files from 
the same repository family.  In your case, I'd replace mono*novell rpms 
with mono from the nrpms repositories given that you're using nrpms for 
the other dependencies.

I've had very good luck using this approach given the issues involved.  
The biggest problem I am aware of with the current Fedora installation 
is an inability to start beagle without disabling the evolution backend 
(which disables contact indexing, not Evolution mail indexing).  You can 
check out my experience installing Beagle on Fedora Core 4
