I will assume you mean pork, not port, and yes, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") do eat pork, as well as all other kinds of meat. In fact, I'm a Mormon and I just ate pork for dinner! :)
The Word of Wisdom (the Mormon Health Code) says this about meat:
"Flesh of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with Thanksgiving, nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; and it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, except in times of winter, or of cold, or famine."
(Doctrine and Covenants 89:12-13)
Mormon scripture also says that "Whoso biddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God. For, behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment." (Doctrine and Covenants 49:18-19 - compare to 1 Timothy 4:3-4)
Because of this, many Church members try to cut back on their meat consumption, but most still eat it nearly every day. There are some Mormons who are vegetarians, too!
