I don't think there is any way to do this. I wanted to provide it in JSS 
to implement the JCA KeyFactory class, but Bob Relyea said he didn't 
want to support this functionality because there is no legitimate reason 
for doing it.

Private keys can be extracted if they are first wrapped with a symmetric 
key; this is the usual way of moving a private key from one place to 
another.
