Apple's current guidelines disallow running runtime-generated code. So Cog is out. But Esteban recently got the Stack VM to compile which works fine, and John's interpreter works for a couple of years now.

You will have to compile a VM yourself, or have someone compile it specifically for your iOS device (unless it is jailbroken). Apple does allow apps written in Squeak into the store, but it will not allow a generic VM which can run anything.
