Tricky.
If they use a standard of some sort with the private key then it
shouldn't be too difficult. If they make up something of their own that
is completely undocumented (like some Oracle webservers do) and
unstructured then this is a non starter.
If it is possible to create a sample private key (not a live one!) I'll
see if I can make any sense of the format if you send it to me.
