Default Are there Mono/C# bindings for QT,GTK3 in OpenBSD?

Hello,
I would like to write a simple program with GUI for OpenBSD.
I have heard some good things about C# language, but I don't know if in OpenBSD there are bindings for GUI libraries like QT,GTK3, which let me create GUI using Mono/C#.
I don't post this into "Programming" subforum because I think this is more similar to setting up toolchain, which I think is more administrator task than programming task, but if you don't agree with me feel free to move this topic to "Programming".

Maybe the mono-project, it has an OpenBSD port : mono-project.com for BSDs.

http://openports.se/search.php?so=Mono indicates the answer is "yes", however, I don't have personal knowledge of OpenBSD's port.

I would rather not to use GTK2, because it is in maintanance mode for long time.
Do you also mean kimono? I don't know. I would like to use vanilla QT[4 or 5]. I think people on Gnu/Linux and Windows can use QTSharp, but it doesn't seem to be ported to OpenBSD.
Anyway I started writing GUI in Rust language and GTK3, because bindings can be automatically downloaded in desired version via Cargo (./devel/cargo).

If you would like to develop using Qt5, you may find an updated qt-creator port helpful. It's in active development. I tried it several months ago.

If you are interested, it can be found in the openbsd-wip ports repository under devel/qt-creator-qt5.

Actually I wanted to write program in statically typed, by default memory safe language (example: C#, Rust) using modern, mainstream GUI libraries (GTK+3, QT4 or QT5). If qt-creator doesn't contain bindings for other languages (if I understand correctly it is designed to aid development in C++) I am more interested in other ways for creating GUI i.e. Rust with GTK+3.
I have written one program with menu using GTK+3/Rust. It doesn't do anything useful yet, but it draws window, responds to clicks on two items inside menu (File->Quit and Help->about). It is a proof-of-concept that it can be usefull.

FYI.

With respect to Mono, the following was posted to ports@ today:

How this will shake out in the (near) future, I do not know.

My understanding is that's it's geared for QML/Javascript and C++. I don't know if it has support for any of the other Qt5 bindings.
