This worked!

//Determine how to present this view based on device
if ([UIDevice currentDevice ].userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
    BNRAssetTypeViewController *contentViewController = [[BNRAssetTypeViewController alloc] init];
    UINavigationController *popOverNavigation = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:contentViewController];

    self.assetPickerPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popOverNavigation];

    [self.assetPickerPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];

}

then in the init function of contentViewController add this

//add a barbutton item which will help in adding new type

UIBarButtonItem *bbi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:@selector(addNew:)];

//set bar item to right side of navbarite
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem =bbi ;

Add your view controller to a UINavigationController, then add the Navigation Controller to the UIPopoverController. Then in your UIViewController's viewDidLoad method, put this code in:

UIBarButtonItem *okButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Ok" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(okayButtonPressed)];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(cancelButtonPressed)];

self.navigationItem.title = @"My Title";

[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:cancelButton animated:NO];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:okButton animated:NO];

[cancelButton release];
[okButton release];

When I do this my navBar doesn't seem to fit properly inside of the UIPopoverController, as shown in the below:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/coleorton/4752223066/

Here's what I'm doing: 

// alloc the Direct Reports view controller.
ToolsViewController *toolsViewController = [[[ToolsViewController alloc] init] autorelease];

UINavigationController *toolsNavController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:toolsViewController] autorelease];
toolsNavController.title = @"Tools";
toolsNavController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, -10.0, 320.0, POPOVER_HEIGHT);

if(![self.toolsPopoverController isPopoverVisible]){
    // show popover

    self.toolsPopoverController = [[[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:toolsNavController] autorelease];
    self.toolsPopoverController.delegate = self;
    self.toolsPopoverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(320.0, POPOVER_HEIGHT);
    [self.toolsPopoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender 
                                     permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny 
                                                     animated:YES];

} else {
    // close popover
    [self.toolsPopoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}

I wouldnt use a navigationcontroller like the previous posters suggested, apple recommends not using navigationcontrollers on ipad (with good reason) it doesnt behave as youd expect when pushing VC into the stack when used in popovers, now you dont really want to use the "navigation" aspect of it, but i wouldnt use navigationcontroller just because uw ant the bar....Use a UIToolBar instead, and set its buttons to whatever you want...no need to use a navigation controller here...

You need to initialize your popover with a UINavigationController directly. Then set the root view to your custom view controller.

UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:yourViewController];     
UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:navigationController];

Use a UINavigationController as the pop-over. Then, access the .navigationBar property of the navigation controller, get the .topItem, and set its .leftBarButtonItem and .rightBarButtonItem.
