All it needs is a PEM encoded CA certificate and correct headers on the server. But if I understood the original question correctly, it is about installation of client (S/MIME) certificates. Client certificates which have the private key stored in FF (produced by <keygen>) can be installed in similar fashion by sending the content of the certificate with header "Content-type: application/x-x509-user-cert". Additionally http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/JavaScript_crypto#Typical_use shows a different approach via JavaScript.
