@Jan You can develop the game logic and 3D elements, etc in the Windows-based Shiva IDE and save it to a ‘pack’ file. To publish for an iPhone you’ll have to download the Mac-only iPhone Authoring tool, hand it the pack file and let it generate and sign the final binary.

So technically you don’t need a Mac to develop a game, but you’ll need one to publish the final product. It may be possible to use Hackintosh and VMWare to run MacOS on top of your Windows OS and do this last step on the same machine.
