This question has been asked / answered quite a number of times, but I know there has been a large number of new members to the list, so I'll give the 30-second update on this...
iOS (as of v4.1) does not provide built-in Smart Card Services nor does it provide support for an attached reader. However, starting with the release of the first SDK and then the Dev access to the 30-PIN & Bluetooth [1] which was made available at the release of the iPhone SDK 3.0 - July 2009, ANY Developer has the independent capability of building in support to their application for almost any hardware attachment built to the MFI (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod) specifications.
Lots of activity from third parties on this, but nothing publicly announced as of today.
