Unfortunately the current Citrix download for their NetScaler VPX virtual appliance was exported from Hyper-V 2008. This means that the appliance can not natively be imported into Hyper-V 2012 R2 due to a deprecated feature (reference).
I found that I could get around this little hiccup in my lab environment by using VMware Workstation to stand up a Hyper-V 2008 R2 instance. Once the legacy instance is up, import the VPX appliance. You can now copy and paste the VM folders from that appliance directly into your Hyper-V 2012 R2 infrastructure and add the VM that way - without using the export feature on the legacy Hyper-V system.
You could also stand up 2012 original release and use it as an intermediary host - though I did not test this method.
