The iPhone Simulator actually uses the regular, OSX Foundation. You
can actually use things that aren't available on the iPhone if you
aren't careful and don't pay attention to the documentation - they
just won't work when you go to build for your device.
The iPhone SDK is just the normal Xcode package plus all the headers
and whatnot you need to do iPhone development. It also seems like
they've been pretty good about syncing Xcode releases with new iPhone
SDK releases, so that there aren't two versions of Xcode released as
the "latest" depending on whether you get the iPhone SDK or the
regular Xcode package.
If you want to do both, get the iPhone SDK package.

Certain Frameworks look like they are going to stay shared between

PhoneOS and MacOS X, most notably things like Foundation and
CoreGraphics.
Although though the iPhone and Mac OS X versions of these frameworks
look similar, there are differences that may make writing code that
can be shared between them difficult---for example, the iPhone version
of Foundation is missing things like NSAttributedString, predicates,
spotlight, and features only event-driven XML parsing.
