Xamarin Studio is based on the open source MonoDevelop project already: http://www.monodevelop.com/.

The download page there has me downloading Xamarin Studio. How do I get just MonoDevelop?
You can't because nobody from the community has stepped up to create Windows&Mac binaries of a plain MonoDevelop build.
Can I compile it myself? I don't know why this isn't clear, but the pages don't really say any of this.
Yes

Instructions are included in the MonoDevelop repository, and they could not be simpler:
