Sure you can.  My husband collects them in the fall, wraps them in a moist 
paper towel which he ties in a plastic bag and puts in the refrigerator.  He 
changes the paper towel occasionally to keep it from molding.  The white oaks 
germinate right in the refrigerator.  In the spring he plants them in  trays 
which he keeps outside until they are about six inches tall and then plants 
them out where they are to grow.  The real trick is to put some sort of cage 
over the seedlings to protect them from critters.
