Yes.  The ChessBase products know how to import EPD files.

This is from the help file:

"Database formats
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This program reads and writes all ChessBase file formats, including the old CBF
format, the normal multimedia CBH format, the ChessBase archive format CBV, the
international PGN format, and EPD positions (these can only be imported into a
database). When you copy games from one format to another they are automatically
converted.

The program uses the openings book tree format CTG, but it can import old books
in the FBK format.

PGN is an internationally accepted text format which can be read and edited with
a simple ASCII editor. On the Internet you will find many games in PGN format.
Even if these files contain a lot of additional text – tournament reports,
tables, general messages – they can still be accessed directly, without any
prior conversion. Just make sure the file has the ending “PGN”. The program will
ignore all the text in between the games.

Note:You can convert games from one format to the other by copying them into a
database with the required format."
