Interesting.  I ran this once and it worked (I had to use sudo).  Then, I realized that I might have my xcode-selects variable set wrong since I recently downloaded Xcode 4.6 via the iOS downloads page rather than via the AppStore.   I put Xcode 4.6 into a subdirectory:  /Applications/Xcode46/Xcode.app rather than right in the Applications folder.  I realized that I should have also updated my xcode-select variable.   I did that:  
      sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode46/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Then when I run sudo npm install -g cordova again,  iOS fails:
   WARNING: Your system does not meet requirements to create iosprojects. See error output below.
Xcode is not installed. Cannot add iOS platform.
SKIPPING ios bootstrap.

So, I would guess it has to do with the xcode-selects value.

Also, FWIW running the suggested sudo chown -R <yourusername> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova  command and it didn't work for me to eliminate the need to run sudo. However, running
sudo chown -R <yourusername> /usr/local/lib/node_modules (rather than just to cordova dir) and then running: npm install -g cordova (without the sudo now works) I do NOT get the iOS error??????  So maybe it has to do with permissions?
