Do I have to roll my own caching mechanism for data I’d like to persist, or is there something built-in that I can leverage? Any help would be great – thanks in advance!

There’s no built-in caching mechanism per-se, but SQLite, CoreData, etc. are available (or you could just use the built in NSKeyedArchiver/NSKeyedUnarchiver if you’re only interested in storing a small amount of data (such as user preferences) in standard language objects and don’t want to use a plist based settings approach.
That said, I’m not sure how/if these are wrapped in monotouch. (Search for the above NSKeyed.. methods and NSCoding and all should be revealed.)
