It is a matter of debate, but in general, yes, for two reasons:
1. Jewish people may break almost any law in order to save a life (except for murder, adultery, and idol worship).
2. Even more importantly: in non-life threatening situations, many authorities would still allow pig organs, because technically pig meat is unkosher only if it's dead. If it's a living organ, that's a different story. (If you count living pig organs as unkosher, you'd also have to count living human organs as unkosher).
