no, but if anybody has time to write one, please do!

many people have managed to do this by combining information from 
various existing documentation
on applets  and JSS.

http://java.sun.com/applets/
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/keystores.html

You need to configure your applet so it can load nspr/nss/jss libraries, 
and
have the correct location to the Firefox dbs.

To get the configuration correct work with a small program
such as listing the certificates by modifying
http://mxr.mozilla.org/security/source/security/jss/org/mozilla/jss/tests/ListCACerts.java

you could also choose not to use JSS and use SunPKCS11 to initialize NSS
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/p11guide.html

your applet would have to generate a pkcs11 config file for SunPKCS11
that would specify the location of Firefox's NSS libraries and the 
firefox database directory.
