In the upcoming MonoTouch we will have a scale method, this is its implementation in UIImage.cs:

    public UIImage Scale (SizeF newSize)
    {
        UIGraphics.BeginImageContext (newSize);
        var context = UIGraphics.GetCurrentContext ();
        context.TranslateCTM (0, newSize.Height);
        context.ScaleCTM (1f, -1f);

        context.DrawImage (new RectangleF (0, 0, newSize.Width, newSize.Height), CGImage);

        var scaledImage = UIGraphics.GetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphics.EndImageContext();

        return scaledImage;         
    }

Adjusted to be reused outside of MonoTouch:

    public static UIImage Scale (UIImage source, SizeF newSize)
    {
        UIGraphics.BeginImageContext (newSize);
        var context = UIGraphics.GetCurrentContext ();
        context.TranslateCTM (0, newSize.Height);
        context.ScaleCTM (1f, -1f);

        context.DrawImage (new RectangleF (0, 0, newSize.Width, newSize.Height), source.CGImage);

        var scaledImage = UIGraphics.GetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphics.EndImageContext();

        return scaledImage;         
    }
