PhoneGap Build will let you build for iOS and you can sign your iOS developer certificates without a Mac. See: Create iOS Distribution Certificate windows - Apple provisioning Portal

Only part you MUST have a Mac for is for submitting to AppStore using Application Loader. Check out http://macincloud.com which let's you pay by the hour for using a Mac with Application Loader preinstalled.

According to the FAQ for Phonegap Build you should be able to upload your project to the build service and get an app-store ready app for iOS.

It's still in beta and I haven't tried it myself. To debug on Ubuntu I guess you could run it as a android project and hope there isn't to much difference between the platforms...

I'm not sure if you would need an actual Mac to submit the app to app-store.

You can develop application but you can not deploy it for ios devices. You need an xcode installation to do this.

You will need a Mac to submit your app to AppStore if you want it to appear there, but of course, you can always sell it on Cydia.
