With newborn potbelly pigs it can be difficult to tell the males from females because the males testicles have not dropped. Looking at their rear ends, you can tell females because they have two holes and males have one hole.

The best way to determine the sex of a potbelly pig is by looking at its genitalia. In males, the genitalia will form a penis sheath, while females will have a slit-like opening. However, if you are unsure, it is best to consult with a veterinarian for a more accurate assessment.

The key difference between a male and female pig where their tracts open. In a female pig, both the urogenital tract and digestive tract exit near the anus. Also, females have an external structure called a urogenital papilla which is right under the tail, where the tract comes out.

If it doesn't have 2 openings by the anus, it is a male. But just to make sure, you can check. The urogenital tract of the male is right under the umbilical cord. It does not have the urogential papilla so it just looks like a hole in the skin.
