I'm relatively new with PKCS#11 as well.  From my perspective, I'd recommend 
starting with SoftHSM instead of NSS.
http://www.opendnssec.org/softhsm/

In all honesty, the code in both NSS and SoftHSM seem very similar in structure 
- the major difference being that NSS is more full featured in that it not only 
provides a PKCS#11 interface for other applications to use, it can also be 
configured to use one or more PKCS#11 interfaces from other providers.

As I am working on something similar myself, I find it easier to modify SoftHSM 
since it's code doesn't include a large amount of extra functionality that is 
not of interest to me.
