A:
That would be quite difficult since px is an absolute unit while em is a relative unit.
Consider this markup for example:
<div style="font-size:20px;">
<p style="font-size:10px;">The quick brown foxed jumped over
the lazy dog<span style="font-size:30px">s</span></p>
</div>
The (approximate) em equivalent would be:
<div style="font-size:20px;">
<p style="font-size:0.5em;">The quick brown foxed jumped over
the lazy dog<span style="font-size:3em;">s</span></p>
</div>
Which may not be immediately obvious.

@Joel Potter - yes but can't we convert later?

@metal-gear-solid. It's better to pick one and stick with it. The example I gave uses font-size, but it gets even hairier with dimensions (margin, padding, etc.).

A:
You "can" but it would be a painful and imperfect task.
Everything would shift slightly. It would take a long time to realign, resize, and reposition everything on your site.
