Yes, that may be.
Which sources of Eloquent have you tried compiling? This project is  
rather old and you might want to use other backend sources.

I don't have an iPhone SDK installed but I would help porting the  
backend if needed.

Interface Builder is a really nice tool. Cocoa has the best  
implementation of MVC I have seen so far. Interface Builder really  
only creates the GUI and then you switch over to Xcode and do the  
Controller part.
It is different compared to other language platforms but I like it.
