Welcome to the AndroidForums, drdent!
Hmm, I'm not familiar with how Kies backs stuff up...if you fire-up Kies on your PC, does it allow you to browse / review any of your data that you've backed-up?
If not, I'm pretty sure the backup files would not be compatible with the iPhone.
Maybe someone else here will have an idea or more information for you.
Best of luck and sorry for your loss.
