I'm going to take a guess that you are asking if QGIS can create a prj file that contains the projection information so that other programs loading the shapefile can also read it. If that's the case I believe the Vector->Data Management->Define Projection tool is what you're looking for.

Thanks,

  hm - what do you mean by that? EPSG 4326 is just one projection format
  (like thousands of other projections). All shapefile readers should be
  able to deal with it.

  In QGIS, when you save to a Shapefiles you can even select the target
  projection and it will automatically project the data for you.

  Hope this helps,
  Andreas
