Question About Digital Ports

When we are talking digital ports, can Any digital port be used for ANY digital application? For instance if the Roomba on the Tutorial is using D0 and D1 and I am already using those ports, may I use ANY port, say D14,D15 to do the same thing? Or, should i switch the roomba to D0 and D1 and use D14 , D15 for the Other app? Thanks, Mel
