Totally possible, if a little tricky to do. Once you've found the font you need (either one of the alternatives already shipped with iOS, or a TTF file that you've got the correct licensing for), just create a UILabel with the size, formatting, font etc and then add it to the navigation items for that bar (or, if you're doing this in a view controller, set the .navigationItem.titleView of that controller to your label).

For example, I have a view controller inside a UINavigationController. To change the label in the top to a custom font, I simply do:

//...I have already setup a UILabel called navLabel that has the same style as a 
// default navigation bar title, but I've changed the .font property to my custom font
self.navigationItem.titleView = navLabel;
[navLabel release];
