That is exactly what I was trying to do:

- (id) init
{
   id server = nil, port = nil;

   server = [NSMessagePortNameServer sharedInstance];
   port = [server portForName: @"Foobar"];

   if( ! port )
   {
     NSLog(@"no port, creating");
     port = [NSMessagePort port];
   }

   if( [server registerPort: port forName: @"Foobar"] )
   {
     NSLog(@"registered");
     return self;
   }
   return nil;
}

Both instances will tell me that there is no port, therefor create a
new one and register.
