You are on the right track when you tried to create a "qnx target system
project". You need to find out the IP address of your target, create a QNX
Qconn target project. In the IDE switch to the System Information
perspective, make sure your target is connected by looking at the "Target
Navigator" view - you should see the running processes.

Open the "Target File System Navigator" view, browser to the directory
containing your .kev file, drag and drop the file to your QNX target
project.

Now you can open the .kev file from the System Profiler perspective.

Here's how I do it:
1. Start the IDE, select whatever workspace (or create a new one)
2. Window -> Open Perspective -> Other -> QNX System Profiler
3. You should see a "Navigator" pane on the left. Right click, and select New -> General -> Project. Give it some name 
and click Finish
4. Right click in the Navigator pane again, and select "Import"
5. Select General -> Filesystem -> Next. Under "From Directory" put the directory where the .kev file is. Hit tab, the 
folder name should appear on the left. Click the checkbox next to it twice (select/deselect all files). On the right you
 should see all the files in that directory. Select the kev file you want. Click Finish
6. You should now see your kev file under the Navigator pane. Double click it to open. It may tell you the file needs to
 be repaired. Select ok
