If "bit" and "port" are assembler variables, then yes.  No matter how you
may try to disguise it, the register and bit referenced by a BTFSS
instruction are hard coded into the instruction, and therefore must be known
at assembly time.

If you need to dynamically select a register at runtime, use an FSR.  There
are more options for dynamically selecting a bit, most of which require bit
shifting or mask selecting.
