PFX is really a subset of PKCS #12 format:
  http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/pkcs-12/

CryptoAPI supports exporting certs from a store to such a protected
file format via:
  PFXExportCertStore() (and related functions)

Not currently supported in .NET (except by P/Invoke)
but there might be some support in Whidbey.

There is a forthcoming article (~ Jan 2004) via MSDN Security site:
  "PKCS #12: Portable Protected Keys in .NET"
