According to the Audacity site it has native support for wav, aac, mp3 and aiff:

But you need to install an additional library to directly import m4a files:

An easier approach might be to first convert your m4a to mp3 or wav, then import to Audacity. There are plenty of online converters that will do this -- just google "m4a mp3 converter".
