On a technical level, it's easy to see how someone might ship a Kotlin compiler that targets LLVM the same way you can e.g. C# via Xamarin.

Practically, though, any solution like that is going to be a second-class citizen in a world where Apple jumps and you ask how high. Xamarin's a great example here, even if Kotlin might be sexier as a language: there are certainly teams building good native iOS apps using Xamarin / C#, but it's hard to see it ever being anything more than a niche tool.
