No, you can't use Ephpod to create AAC files.

But why would you want to go from MP3 straight to AAC?  The resulting 
file will have a loss of sound quality, since you're going straight 
from one lossy compression (MP3) to another (AAC).

If you want AAC files on your iPod, then you need to rip your CDs 
again, this time to AAC instead of to MP3.  Make sure that you have the 
most current version of iTunes, though, since the early ones had a 
not-so-great AAC encoder.  The encoder currently used is significantly 
better.
