It's because back in the day (2,3,4,5 centuries ago) pork and sausage were the easiest to store and use later while on a trek in the wilderness. All you would do is put salt on it, wrap it in a cloth (canning and jarring hadn't been invented), and pack it up. Turkey, bologna, salami, pastrami and others didn't work well in this case. Food processing also hadn't been that developed back then, so people needed easy ways to vary their diets. Bacon and sausage don't require that much skill so it could be bought or made on the fly.

i think that's a north american thing, breakfast is different all over the world. for example, i have lived in south america and europe and their breakfast is comprised primarily of bread and pastries.
maybe one explanation though, is that pork is a heavy meat and puts such a strain on the digestive system that people think it best to have it as early on in the day as possible. that way it is being digested throughout the day while we are active, rather than during the evening/night when we tend to be inactive.
that's just one suggestion, purely conjecture on my part though.

Pork is usual but not the limit.
Scramble some eggs with thinnly sliced green onions and black pepper. Pan fry chunks of fish such as salmon and blue fin tuna (if you can find it). Serve together and enjoy the meal with the pork!

they aren't the only breakfast meats, only the most common. some people eat steak and eggs or chicken and waffles. but i think the prevalance of pork is because it is easiest to cure and dried meats were more commonly used during pioneer days, which made them traditional fare.
