You can freeze crab legs wrapped tightly for no more than 2 months.
Thaw frozen crab legs. Cut each leg shell down both sides with a sharp knife. Remove top of shell, leaving meat in the bottom. Place bottom shells in a shallow baking pan and brush with butter or oil, seasonings, and lemon juice. Place under broiler for four to five minutes, just until heated through.

Sure you can freeze them, but nothing is as good after freezing as it is fresh. It loses texture and a bit of its crisp, fresh flavour. But if you're going to, do follow wine duchess's instructions for freezing, so they aren't ruined by freezer burn.
