See www.gnupg.org or send a message with subject "subscribe" to gnupg-users-request@gnupg.org.

PKCS#12 is merely a transport format for all kind of stuff, usually
used for the private key and the certificate.  Look out for an option
to export a certificate in binary (DER) format.

You need to start the agent in the background first:

$ eval `gpg-agent --daemon`

the the import might work.  PCKS#12 support is very basic.
