Always use the current version of OpenSSL.
PEM as used by OpenSSL is just an "envelope" around all sorts of other
formats, including PKCS.
For example a PEM file might contain the ASCII text:
-----BEGIN PKCS12-----
<a block of Base64 encoded PKCS12 data>
-----END PKCS12-----
So, yes, OpenSSL supports PKCS. Someone else has already confirmed that
Verisign certificates work fine with OpenSSL.
