I was talking to someone who mentioned this shouldn't be difficult as it exists in Android, it's just a matter of adding as passthrough setting for Titanium.
This would allow us to wrap alot of iPhone only sites up.

To test this we can just verify a default user agent and try replacing it with our own, i.e.:

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ top: 0, left: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0 });
   var webview = Ti.UI.createWebView({ url: 'http://www.google.com' });
   win.add(webview);
   win.open();
   
   Ti.API.debug(webview.getUserAgent());
   webview.setUserAgent("custom user agent");
   
   Ti.API.debug("should be custom user agent: " + webview.getUserAgent());
