I know whats confusing you here: the PKCS#12 stuff is all documented :-)
You can't just convert a certificate you need a certificate and
corresponding private key (and option other certificates).
Here's an outline:
Read the user certificate into an X509 structure.
Read the private key into an EVP_PKEY structure.
Any extra certificates (optional) can be put into a STACK_OF(X509)
structure.
Call PKCS12_create() with the password and an appropriate name and
you'll get back a PKCS12 structure properly encoded.
Write to wherever using i2d_PKCS12_bio() or i2d_PKCS12_fp()
