Depends on what you are trying to accomplished, you can have a storyboard with a view and any number of elements you want, and then add a UILabel programmatically during viewDidLoad in your view controller as follow:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    UILabel * label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:(CGRect){{50,50},{29,100}}]; // size 29x100 with top-left origin at (50,50)
    label.text = @"This label is programmatically generated";
    [self.view addSubview:label];
}

As far as how to make them work together, it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
