If we are talking about the TFS plugin for Xcode, then it is not.
However, there are two alternatives to use TFS in Xcode:
1. Install SvnBridge on the server and connect directly from Xcode via SVN.
2. Manage sources from Eclipse+TFS plugin (former Teamprise, now Microsoft's Team Explorer Everywhere).
Both options have drawbacks. The first one is quite buggy, it works well until there are conflicts and locks. In any non-standard situation, it produces nameless errors or, even worse, rewrites other people's changes.
The second option is quite reliable, but does not have integration with Xcode, which not everyone likes. Plus, the use of read-only file attributes by the plugin sometimes causes problems (they promised to fix this in the next version).
We chose the third option, and moved all projects for Mac and iOS to pure SVN :) However, this also has its drawbacks, such as the lack of integration with TFS (binding work items and chanchesets to the build, for example).
