I have a sack of German Pilsner Malt... and I want to brew Oktoberfest...

I had aspirations of brewing some German pilsners early this year, but right now I want to brew German Oktoberfest/Märzen...

Is it acceptable to use the Pilsner Malt for this style? If not, what grain am I looking for?

thanks

You might use some pilsner but for an Oktoberfest you're going to want a significant percentage of Vienna/Munich.

You most certainly can use pilsner malt, and at a very high percentage. Here is one of many examples:
