Not sure what you mean - pkcs 8 defines how the key is held internally, pkcs 12 defines the format of a key exchange file.
If you export (backup) a personal certificate from FireFox, it will save the private/public key pair in a password encrypted pkcs12 format file, which can then be imported into IE, for example.
See here for more on pkcs standards.

The SSL cert that I have has a private key that was created as a privkey.pk8 file and a mycert.der file. I needed to create a combined PKCS12 (privkey and mycert) file for use on an AS2 server.

I managed in the end by extensive searching on the net.
