It seems a little incongruous that you're happy to use Wine, but not mono :P.
That said, it does seem a little brain-damaged that Ubuntu have decided to make a required dependency on what should be an optional package, and one for which a C version already exists, no less.
Anyway, your options probably aren't great for running outside Wine: you could install the Debian version of the package, which would mean that you then need to get autopano-sift-c from debian-multimedia, or you could build from source - it may be possible to build from the Ubuntu source package but not include the C# autopano-sift (not sure).
Or you could just continue using Wine. Performance does suffer a little - probably mostly because it's 32-bit - but you're not missing out on a great deal (except that it's butt-ugly :P).

Not at all; they're quite different animals.
Wine allows you to continue to run legacy applications for which no current new open source alternative exists.
Mono is for new code to be written that runs on Windows.
So Wine allows you to get away from the evil while still having the nasties that can't be changed just yet, while Mono only allows you to create new evil. ;-)
