It's called Secure Messaging, or SM for short.

Yes. Look for SM. I don't know if PKCS#11 has explicit support for it
though, so maybe SM will terminate within OpenSC, and then you'll
still have the plaintext PIN within the p11 host app and the p11
module. Maybe that's OK, I don't know how much you trust the fbsd
system in the HSM.

Another option might be to use a pinpad reader instead.
