The approach that the Unity guys have taken is that their iPhone  
toolkit exports out to an XCode project, which you then just build to  
the iPhone. I imagine that the majority of what is in the project is  
the 3D engine, and your custom bits are a small part of it. A similar  
thing ought to be possible with Rev and other tools, but I'm sure  
it's quite a bit of work to make the XCode project version of the  
main application (Rev in this case).

As for App Store considerations, a lot of people use tools like Rev  
for making things for themselves. You can publish iPhone apps to your  
own iPhone without having to get it approved by Apple.
