Most cats will not hurt a kitten. They can sense that it's only a baby, and they won't do any serious damage to it. They might hiss at the kitten at first, or attack it without seriously hurting it, but this is more of a display of dominance, sort of like, "You can live here, but remember that this is MY house."
Hopefully, they will establish a relationship after a couple of weeks, and will turn out to be good friends. It really depends on the individual cat. My parents have three cats, and all three have lived together since they were kittens, yet they don't really snuggle together or play together at all. All three just sort of avoid each other. My two cats are best buddies. They sleep together all the time, and they play-fight all the time. I got them both at the same time, but one was 8 years old, and the other was a 2 week-old kitten.
Even if your two cats don't turn out to be friends, I seriously doubt that they will end up hating each other so much that you have to keep them separated. I've never heard of that happening (again, as long as the new cat is a kitten).

How do I get my cat to accept the new kitten?

How do you get an 8 year old cat who has never interacted with other cats to accept your new 3 month old kitten?
I myself, being the owner of many cats, can tell you this. Your cat may or may not accept your new kitten. The only thing you can do is just introduce them slowly, don't force anything onto your older cat that it doesn't want. The older cat will at first hiss, cuff, or growl at your new kitten, but in time he'll learn to tolerate the newcomer. He just needs to learn that the kitten isn't there to take his place, make sure you're still giving your older cat the attention that he wants and show him that even though you have another cat, you still love him just as much.
