Not the exact opposite no. X509_NAME_oneline() (which is deprecated BTW) loses
some information when it prints out an X509_NAME structure, specifically the
string types of the components.

The nearest is X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt() which will add a single compoent
given the name and value text representations. So you'd have to split up a
string into its components and call that on each in turn.
