I would say one way only... read further to see why.

Delphi Prism is not developed by Embarcadero, that's the job of
RemObjects Software. Embarcadero simply struck a deal with RemObjects
Software to do the distribution but slap their registered trademark
name 'Delphi' on the box. The following URL explains this. As far as I
understand, it's a Visual Studio language plugin.

So Embarcadero is simply piggybacking on the work of RemObjects
Software (most of it). But yes, you could use the Delphi Language (aka
object pascal) to create .NET and Mono applications.

The posting I quoted was the first new information in months that I
head about Embarcadero's cross-platform plans. I guess they'll release
CLX and VCL with Delphi 2011 (developer tools like IDE not needing
Visual Studio).
