Yes, write the driver ;-)

I had look at that a few months ago (while writting the GeoCouch/CouchDB
driver), but didn't pursue since I found that the spatial capabilities of
MongoDB were rather small (only points if I remember well). But there's no
reason that a driver couldn't be written. The driver should likely rely on a lib
(linked from MongoDB's site) to connect to MongoDB since they use a non-standard
binary protocol (kind of binary json I believe).
