no, but it was renamed to MonoBook.pt.  additionally, it's not required
unless you really want to modify the TAL template; the shipped MonoBook.php
is the rendered version of the TAL file (and you can modify it without
problems).

you can do it like this.  alternatively, you can use the new (1.4)
$wgNavigationLinks configuration setting; see

doing it this way is more likely to not break when you upgrade (because you
don't need to modify any source files); however, it's slightly less
flexible.
