With the latest gnupg 1.9 you should be able to do just an

  gpgsm --import certbundle.p12

tested with a current Mozilla.

See the info manual under agent configuration:

@item trustlist.txt

  [ Default: ~/gnupg/trustlist.txt ]

  This is the list of trusted keys.  Comment lines, indicated by a leading
  hash mark, as well as empty lines are ignored.  To mark a key as trusted
  you need to enter its fingerprint followed by a space and a capital
  letter @code{S}.  Colons may optionally be used to separate the bytes of
  a fingerprint; this allows to cut and paste the fingerprint from a key
  listing output.
  
  Here is an example where two keys are marked as ultimately trusted:
  
  @example
  # CN=Wurzel ZS 3,O=Intevation GmbH,C=DE
  A6935DD34EF3087973C706FC311AA2CCF733765B S
  
  # CN=PCA-1-Verwaltung-02/O=PKI-1-Verwaltung/C=DE
  DC:BD:69:25:48:BD:BB:7E:31:6E:BB:80:D3:00:80:35:D4:F8:A6:CD S 
  @end example
  
  Before entering a key into this file, you need to ensure its
  authenticity.  How to do this depends on your organisation; your
  administrator might have already entered those keys which are deemed
  trustworthy enough into this file.  Places where to look for the
  fingerprint of a root certificate are letters received from the CA or
  the website of the CA (after making 100% sure that this is indeed the
  website of that CA).  You may want to consider allowing interactive
  updates of this file by using the @xref{option --allow-mark-trusted}.
  This is however not as secure as maintaining this file manually.  It is
  even advisable to change the permissions to read-only so that this file
  can't be changed inadvertently.
