There is currently no native support for quotas monitoring.

What level of quotas monitoring do you mean? Monit can watch the 
filesystem flags for change already, thus can check that the filesystem 
was not remounted without quota support. It could be also possible to 
implement the test which will check that the quota enforcement work in 
general. On the other side, if you mean per-user quota provisioning and 
reporting then i'm not sure whether monit should do this - per-user 
quota management is probably out of scope.

In general, it is possible to use external script for monitoring various 
services which are not supported by monit currently. There is nice trick 
developed by Pavel Urban, see for example:
