The majority of Pakistanis are Muslim (around 97%, or 173 million people - there are also Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Parsis, Bahai and Jews). According to the Islamic holy book, the Koran (Sura 2, Ayat 173, Al-Baqara - "The Cow"): "He has forbidden you only the Maitah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than God (or has been slaughtered for idols, on which God's name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, then there is no sin on him. Truly, God is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful."
So, it's not the case that Pakistanis don't eat pork - but that 97% (plus the tiny percentage that are Jewish) don't eat pork. Incidentally, the name for people from Pakistan is Pakistani - "paki," though originally just a shortened version of the word, has taken on distinctly racist and high offensive overtones and should therefore be avoided.

It's because of short form. Pakistanis are usually called Pakis as a short and derisive form and this may be what you are hearing as "Porky". If the actual word being used is "Porky", it may be a reference to how Pakistanis are usually Muslim and therefore refuse to consume pork.
