I believe Mozilla developers are working on a replacement for it, called mozilla::pkix, in large part due to libpkix being overly complex. Last time I checked mozilla::pkix was pretty far along. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915930

To be even more precise, this new certificate validation library is the current default in nightly (ff-31), testing is welcome.
