Yes and no. PGP 2.6.2 keys (version 3 keys) are compatible with RFC-4880, but that does not necessarily mean that every implementation supports them. Version 3 key support is optional in the standard, so it is possible that the iPGmail app only supports OpenPGP (version 4) keys. (Frankly, if I was writing a OpenPGP program today, I'd probably leave out version 3 support as well).
