No. Monticello is a version control system that uses packages calls mcz files.

Metacello is a configuration management system, so describes how
Monticello packages make up some project.

If you browse the source of this package -
http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository/ConfigurationOfQuaternion-fbs.4.mcz
- you'll see how Nicolas Cellier's Quaternion package is configured.

For a slightly less trivial example, take a look at
http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository/ConfigurationOfSqueakCheck-fbs.8.mcz

Both of these are Monticello packages containing Metacello configurations.

To install either, load the package into your system and run
"ConfigurationOfQuaternion load" or "ConfigurationOfSqueakCheck load".
That, off the top of my head, ought to be sufficient to load both.
(It'll take a while: both will bootstrap Metacello into your image.)
(If they don't load cleanly, please tell me and I'll fix them!)
