I know it is possible to set how the date is formatted at compile time via IB, but is there any way to accept multiple formats at runtime?

The only real way to do this is to create a number of NSDateFormatters, each with a different format string, and try to parse your date string with each one in turn. (That's what Apple's RSS- parsing frameworks had to do, to support all the 'creative' misuses of date formats in real-world news feeds.)
