I have an entry on my blog which covers this exact topic.
It provides a step-by-step guide on how to enable GCOV in Xcode 4 as well as how to use CoverStory for displaying the results.
These steps will help.
Create a new build configuration (‘Coverage’), duplicated from the ‘Debug’ configuration.
Open up build settings for the main target, make sure your new configuration is selected, and:
Enable “Generate Test Coverage Files”
Enable “Instrument Program Flow”
Add “-lgcov” to “Other Linker Flags”
Compile application with Coverage mode.
Check .gcno files from your application bundle folder.
Coverage-iphonesimulator/applicationname.build/Objects-normal
open .gcno files with CoverStory. Download CoverStory from
http://code.google.com/p/coverstory/downloads/list

I couldn't find a good example of this, so hopefully this will help someone else.
If you want to generate HTML from your code coverage (once you get your .gcda files generated), you can install lcov
and use these commands:
function generate-codecoverage-html() {
if [[ $1 == "-h" || ! $# -eq 2 ]]; then
echo " usage: $0 path/to/codecoverage/dir/ path/to/htmldir/"
return
fi
timestamp=$(date)
tmpfile="/tmp/codecoverage.info-$date"
lcov --no-checksum --directory "$1" --capture --output-file "$tmpfile"
genhtml --output-directory "$2" "$tmpfile"
}
