Yeah, see for example how I did it for Chandler:
http://svn.osafoundation.org/chandler/trunk/chandler/parcels/osaf/framework/certstore/ssl.py
(the loadCertificatesToContext function). You just need an SSL.Context,
get_cert_store() from it, and call the store's add_x509() for each cert.

Typically certificates are public, for example all of your peers will
get the certificate anyway, so I don't see this as a problem. Your
private key is what you want to protect. Just make sure it is not
concatenated to your certificate file and there would probably be no
problem leaving the cert file publicly available.
