No. A backport is a port of a package for a recent version of the
distribution to an older one.

For example, rebuilding the 1.2.99 package that Gunnar just uploaded to
Unstable on a Debian Stable distribution, and thus generating a package for
Stable from the latest sources of the package.

It is usually a fairly straightforward process, although it could get messy
if some of the building infrastructure bits changed from one distro to the
other, for instance.
