There are no accepted theories that consider gravity to be polar.

It is possible, I guess. For this to happen the magnetism of the poles must be greater than the gravity in order for them not to collide. The magnetism will repel either one from eachother, but I think that they will still collide, just not pole-to-pole. Or, the magnetism could repel either one away from eachother very slowly if the both objects' movement toward eachother is slow (very unlikely). I think that if they were moving faster or like the speed that Earth moves around the sun perhaps, that they would slide past eachother's poles, but collide yet still, smashing into eachother's sides.

According to present understanding, gravity is a bending of space, thus there can not be poles (or anti gravity.)

No.
