Thanks, figured. So, given that I have no Skypass miles, the only possibility would probably be transferring (120k) Bonvoy points to (40k) Skypass and using those to upgrade J-->F. Though I imagine that would probably require untagging my AS MP account from the ticket and associating it with my (empty) Skypass account -- if that's even possible after having flown one leg of the flight. Unlikely to be worth it, I guess. The J suites in KE are quite good as far as J goes already.
