I don't believe you can simply route one specific app through another network interface, but if you can define specific target hosts or subnets you could set up a different routing for those and route the rest to the first adapter in the list. – Gerry Sep 13 '12 at 13:45

The iOS Simulator does not get its own internet connection, it uses the computer's. Therefore, if you want it to use the Wifi network instead of the LAN, just make sure you're connected through Wifi.

In System Preferences / Network you can rearrange the order in which the computer gains Internet connection. Just place Wi-Fi on top of the list. On Lion it's done by clicking the gear thingy, and select Set Service Order from the pop-up list.
