If it's the exact same key, yes (you can export a key pair with
'monotone pubkey' and 'monotone privkey' and read in the result into
another database with 'monotone read').
sjackman> Can I use the same private key both at work and at home?
Yes.
sjackman> What's the typical solution?
It's really a matter of personal preference and how much you trust
your local environment. If it was me, I would do address@hidden
for work and address@hidden for working from my home machine.

It would definitely confuse matters. It would create a clash, because
each keyid represents one unique key, period.
(personally, I wouldn't have made monotone depend on the keyid, but
hey, I'm not the original author)
Cheers,
