I'm developing an IOS app using phone gap and I'd like to use node.js for part of it. Is it feasable to get phonegap to run an instance of node.js along side the rest of the app?

Phonegap is a client-side solution only with JavaScript/CSS/HTML running on the browser-app of the phone. The JavaScript Phonegap API talks to the native phone interface and browser interface which gives you options to work natively and as a normal web page would with enhanced permissions. Node.js would only serve you as a data connection for JSON or whatever else you would need to pull/push with a network call.

UPDATE: @Turion had a great comment and made me look a little deeper. Here's what the stack and google came up with:
