Actually you do :-). 

Using
http://madewokherd.nfshost.com/omgsecret/mono-64bit-exe.tar.gz
from
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30518

It is a bit dated, but does the job.

I was very confused by both of
libmono-2.0-x86_64.dll  libmono-2.0-x86.dll  MonoPosixHelper-x86_64.dll  MonoPosixHelper-x86.dll
in c:/windows/mono/mono-2.0/bin/

In fact libmono-2.0-x86_64.dll MonoPosixHelper-x86_64.dll
are never used, at the moment.

When 64-bit mono loads a .NET PE image which then P/Invoke,
it does so P/Invoke to 64-bit dlls.
