Well kind of. PKCS#12 is likely the most ugly encryption standard ever written (or actually not written as it used to be an ad-hoc format). Better stick with OpenPGP which dates back to the ~18 years old PGP2. There are several OpenPGP implementations available and if you use GnuPG you can always copy the sources onto the backup medium as well. GnuPG 1.4 is highly portable and it is more likely that you won't be able to read your backup medium in 10 or 20 years than you won't be able to build GnuPG then.
