Yes, you can. Try something like this code in yourUITabBarController.m:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
        
    NSMutableArray* sectionViewControllers = nil;
    NSArray* controllers = [self controllers];
    UIViewController* controller = nil;
    
    for (controller in controllers)
    {
        if (sectionViewControllers == nil)
            sectionViewControllers = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:0];
        
        UINavigationController* navigationController = [[UINavigationController allocWithZone:[self zone]] initWithRootViewController:controller];
        
        navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
        
        [sectionViewControllers addObject:navigationController];
        [navigationController release];
    }
    
    self.viewControllers = sectionViewControllers;
}

- (NSArray*)controllers
{
    if (!_controllers)
        _controllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[self tabController1], [self tabController2], nil];
    return _controllers;
}

and this in you AppDelegate.m:

self.window.rootViewController = self.yourUITabBarController;
