There already are command line utilities (think iSSH) on the iPhone. If what you mean, however, is "can you use underlying UNIX system utilities" or "run a utility you bundle onto a iPhone shell", no it's not possible.

Apart from that, bundling an opensource utility with a closed source application will open interesting legal challenges, you would have to be very attentive to implications of licenses.
