Have you actually tried to do this?  I have and again I will say good luck.
The only way I have really got anything worthwhile working is by using my
wife as a gui builder.  I really hope someone on here proves me wrong. All
the people I know who have created software and got it in the APP store have
used sited assistance for half the coding if not more.  I even called System
access and Sendero and found that the coders for those products are sighted
as well.

One word...yes.

Like Ken said, the wysiwyg way through interface builder to layout
interfaces isn't accessible.  Once an interface is layed out though,
you can do the work to hook up handlers for various events.

You can also dig in deeper and build in the interfaces by scratch.
This actually isn't so bad.  In fact, before they released an official
SDK, this was the only way to do it.  There's even books that came out
before IB support that show you how to do this.  Ultimately, as a
blind guy, you'd be best off trying to lay out interfaces this way.
You can get a *really* good sense of how it looks by just using
VoiceOver and touching the controls you create.
