The certificate creation utilities in OpenSSL don't have an option to
package a certificate in PKCS#7 format, however you can get them to
create a PEM encoded certificate and then use crl2pkcs7 to convert them
to PKCS#7 (PEM or DER encoded).

The openssl docs describe how the certificate creation utilities work in
some detail and there's a wrapper perl script CA.pl that calls the
openssl utility using the most commonly used options.
