There was a belief in biblical times that this was the case, but no, worms can not form from pork. Many species of worms can live inside of live pigs, many of which can cause disease. This may have led to this (formerly) common misconception.

Pigs can carry parasitic worms such as tapeworms or trichinosis; these worms can be killed if the meat is properly cooked. You are only at risk if you eat pork that is not well cooked. And even then, the worms do not eat your brain, although they are not good for your health. Tapeworms normally live in the intestines, and trichinosis affects the muscles.
