vCard is a model for describing people and organizations. SKOS is a model for describing vocabularies and related metadata--modeling the vocabularies themselves, as opposed to the concepts that they represent. It's not unusual for parts of SKOS to be re-used in other vocabularies, but using a little bit of it just to represent the gender part of vCard would be odd--especially when you consider that the vCard ontology is about seven years old than SKOS.
