Adding additional content in UIAlert is not recommended, since it requires a high degree of care and verges on something that can get an app rejected from the App Store. (you've got to do special casing for different versions of the OS and make bad assumptions about the layout of the subviews, and will quite likely break when the next OS release happens).
In general, if you can avoid making a UIPickerView "appear" as the result of an action, you'll be better off. Make it part of the UI, always available, or use a different mechanism (for example, in a table view, just push a second table view onto the navigation controller and let the user select the element from that table view, just like Settings.app does, etc...)
