Heroku has pretty good node support, but I'd doubt they support replacing the binary yet, so you'd have to wait for Heroku to support that.
For manual deployment, the single iojs binary and your project folder should suffice, along with a way to start/restart your app automatically.
Heroku's way ahead of you... https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs/blob/a77cd...
EDIT: To clarify, though I haven't tried it myself, it looks like you can just specify `"engine.iojs": "1.0.0"` in your package.json, and Heroku will install the entire io.js system for you.
Came across this just before opening this thread, you are correct https://twitter.com/hunterloftis/status/555234067520565249
Heroku supports arbitrary "buildpacks", it should be easy to create one for iojs.
