He told the Associated Press news agency that the army supervised a flight of centrifuges in 2000.
At the time Mr Musharraf was head of the army.
Dr Khan said that uranium enrichment equipment was sent in a North Korean plane loaded under the supervision of Pakistani security officials.
Dr Khan's latest claims contradict a public confession he made in 2004 that he was solely responsible for exporting nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya.
They also are also at variance with the oft-stated line of the Pakistani government that neither it nor the army had any knowledge of the exports.
"It was a North Korean plane, and the army had complete knowledge about it and the equipment," Dr Khan said.
"It must have gone with his (Musharraf's) consent."
Correspondents say that the allegations are highly controversial and could prove extremely embarrassing for the army and Mr Musharraf.
So far there has been no response from the president, the government or the army in relation to the allegations.
