Can I change/modify DNS response for specific site?
Basically I want all requests (from my given IPs that are using OpenDNS) for a particular site to be directed to the IP and port of my choosing. Is this possible? I believe this can be done with special routers and/or iptables but I'm curious if any service already has this feature built in. Thanks in advance.

OpenDNS doesn't generally support this intentionally for security reasons.
This can be hardly done without running an own DNS server, or without running a proxy in case of HTTP/HTTPS.
One simple possibility always available is the hosts file on every platform. You can redirect domains to certain IP addresses. You cannot do anything with ports. Ports have nothing to do with DNS.

thanks for the response rotblitz. I've been giving this some thinking.. it is understandable that OpenDNS would want to avoid potential abuse of this feature and unfortunate that I can't modify the hosts files individually. Which leaves me to running my own DNS server. Are there other DNS server hosting companies that I can run remotely or does this have to be on my LAN?
