You can get the XCode IDE for free (it's not FOSS free, but is an interface to FOSS tools such as gcc), and develop code with it - you are now a developer.

Actually shipping apps to an iPhone (via iTunes or ad-hoc distribution) requires being an iPhone Developer Program partner (that's where the $99/year comes in).

If you want to write FOSS stuff, stick to HTML5 apps.
