I guess the question is, is openCryptoki an add-on or a "competitor"?

If I'm understanding correctly, it's an add-on. It sounds like openCryptoki
provides a pkcs#11 abstraction layer for certain hardware, allowing it to be
used with other applications that can talk to pkcs#11 APIs. NSS can do so.

NSS offers a tool "modutil" which can be used to load an external pkcs#11 module
into a set of user preferences (the cert dbs). The binding will be recorded in
file secmod.db which is stored next to your key3.db and cert8.db
