I was just playing with this yesterday...

I generated a CSR for thawte and imported the cert and verified it all 
worked in IIS5 and then export everything for use with Apache-mod-ssl 1.3.20.

I was able to run the exported private key file through the pkcs12 util in 
openssl and then edit the file in vi to seperate out the encrypted private key

just use the -in and -out params to the pkcs12 util

Later,
dj
