I've been asked to advise someone whose large kiwano vine was
mistakenly removed by landscapers. It was grown from a seed planted
back in the winter or late spring, and at the time of its untimely
demise, it covered a 2x3-foot pile of bricks. The owner wanted to
photograph it but had not yet done so; also, it had not yet borne
fruit.
The landscaper is willing to pay for it if a reasonable value can be
determined.
This is in a temperate climate. Would a kiwano vine survive the first
frost (which hasn't happened yet)?

It most probably would not survive the frost. Value $0.00.
