All Jews have the same Torah, which contains the basic laws of keeping kosher. Orthodox Jews believe that the Torah must be fully observed (Deuteronomy 13:5). They keep the laws of Judaism as codified in the Shulchan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law), which lists the laws of the Torah and Talmud. Torah-study is seen as very important (Deuteronomy 5:1); and the modern world is seen as subservient to the Torah (Talmud, Nedarim 32a), not the other way around.
Other Jewish groups (Conservative, Reform) adapt, curtail or change the Torah-laws in contemporary life, to a greater or lesser degree.

Are orthodox Jews the only ones that can't eat pork?

Orthodox Jews, as well as other Jews, are able to do whatever they want to do. Those Jews ... Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, or any others ... who decide to observe and adhere to the formal standards and teachings of Judaism do not eat pork. In that respect, they are mirrored by Muslims and Hindus. Orthodox Jews, though, are more likely to observe and adhere to that standard than Liberal Jews (like Conservative, Reform, and Secular Jews).
