Since no one else has responded (yet) I'll go ahead and take a stab at this.
The short answer is probably no. OpenSSL and JSSE keytool are like water and
oil.

Can you say "science project"?

But, if you must proceed to try and make this work, here are some ideas that
may help.

First, it seems that what you need to import is not the cacert but the private
key, no?

Weblogic supposedly ships with a converter utility for this, you may want to 
download their demo version and see what it contains.  Try googling for
ImportPrivateKey utility

I've seen it said that an openssl keystore can be used "as is" as a jsse 
keystore, but that is a long shot. I've also seen references to encoding, like
DER vs. PEM and going from one to the other would suffice? If you have a PKCS12
file (public+private key) in the right encoding wouldn't that work?

The way to do this that I've had work is to keep openssl and keytool separate
from the get go, with distinct CSRs and such. Of course that means separate
certificates as well.
good luck.
