We're close to having this implemented. gnome-keyring and seahorse
contain code for this, but all the dots aren't connected yet. The last
release gnome-keyring majored on XDG password storage called the Secrets
Service API, so the PKCS#11 work went on hold.

But this should be possible soon. Or if you'd like to contribute, let me
know.

BTW, I'll be giving a talk at GUADEC about PKCS#11 in GNOME and having a
common key storage and integration of common certificate/key interfaces.
More details to come...

Cheers,

Stef
