You can do it, but since port names are immutable it has to happen at
the time you add the port. For example:
blp@sigabrt:~/nicira/ovs/tutorial(0)$ ovs-vsctl add-br br0
blp@sigabrt:~/nicira/ovs/tutorial(0)$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 p0 -- set port p0
name=asdf
blp@sigabrt:~/nicira/ovs/tutorial(0)$ ovs-vsctl show
8b75cccb-f1eb-4e75-ac67-57ebac4e8432
Bridge "br0"
Port "br0"
Interface "br0"
type: internal
Port asdf
Interface "p0"
blp@sigabrt:~/nicira/ovs/tutorial(0)$
