Can I have viewports with individual plot styles?

No, plotstyles are assigned to the whole drawings, not to viewports or layouts.

But you can still display the same object differently in individual layouts or viewports - you can either use Xrefs (objects from an xref can have a different plot style) or use layer settings dependent on a viewport (a new concept introduced in version 2008).
