Basically, no. You will, of course, be close-ish to a functioning Cocoa app if you code in GNUstep, but there are fundamental differences between the two APIs, and there are enough of them that finishing the iPad version would be a serious amount of work. You would need to get a Mac when it came time to finish your app, and there would be many hours of work invested in fixing up your GNUstep code to work with Cocoa.
Furthermore, there are specific video-related APIs available on the iPad that are simply not available for GNUstep. You will wind up rewriting large sections of code.
Sorry! Your best bet here is to acquire a Mac for development.
