Sure - just use JCSI's pkcs12 implementation of java.security.KeyStore
See

  http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/security/KeyStore.html

To create a new KeyStore from scratch, just pass in "null" for the
initial InputStream and password.

    keystore = KeyStore.getInstance("pkcs12");
    keystore.load(null,null);

    // Load up your KeyStore with certs and keys
    .....

    // Save KeyStore to a pkcs12 file
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("store.p12");
    keystore.store(fos, "password".toCharArray());


cheers,
