Duh.
I've seen this one before, this happens when the CA generates your private key and emails it to you, a relatively common practice. Since the Mac can't import the PFX/PKCS #12 files used by MSIE/CryptoAPI, you can't use them on the Macintosh. (This was pre-OS X, I don't know what the status is now, it may still be something that requires MS CryptoAPI to work, or maybe the web page is just out of date).
