Sure, you may import pkcs#12 files.  The pinentry will ask you for the
transport passphrases and for the new passphrase under which gpg-agent
will store the key.  The code even tries several passphrase encodings to
work around common encoding problems.

  gpgsm -v --import foo.p12

is all you need.  Watch out for the pinentry and any error messages you
may see.  In case of problems, it is useful to enable gpg-agent
debugging.
