One theory on why pork wasn't 'kosher' refers to certain illnesses that one could get from eating pork, now not problems due to knowledge of how to properly cook meat... I confess, I know less about this than was once known. It might not have been cooking, but something else. In any case, I doubt that pigs were ever inherently 'spiritually' unclean, but only avoided because those who ate pig meat at the time (or a time when the rule was first formulated) tended to die.
