Can you develop Windows Mobile applications on OS X?

Is it possible to develop an application for a Windows Mobile device, on Mac OS X?

This question mostly due to this answer, criticising Apple for only releasing the iPhone developer tools for the Mac platform..

I'm simply curious if this is possible or not, hopefully an Apple-vs-Microsoft argument can be avoided! There are similar questions for iPhone-development on Windows (1, 2, 3), but not the other way around!

MonoDevelop will run on Mac OS X and according to their FAQ it could be possible to create applications for the Compact Framework, but only after running a patcher (mentioned in the FAQ). It does look like you wouldn't have any real debug support for the Compact Framework, as you can't install it on Mac OS X and the Windows Mobile emulators can't be used on OS X either.

You can always run Windows virtualized in VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox or with BootCamp.
