A large multicentre European study found that pork had a lower risk than other meats as a source of toxo infection.

http://www.bmj.com/content/321/7254/142

Meat - Odds ratio

Dry to cured meat - 0.82
Salami - 1.31
Frozen meat - 0.77
Raw/undercooked pork - 1.40
Raw/undercooked beef - 1.73
Raw/undercooked lamb - 3.73
Other meat (game) - 4.12
But we don't have to worry here, right? It's really rare...

I think it is reasonably common in Australia or any country with a high domestic and/or feral cat population, as these animals are the main host for Toxoplasma. It is easily transferred when other mammals come in contact with cat feaces.
