In our religion, we cannot eat pork, so I was wondering if Hot Cheetos contain any ingredients derived from pork. Thank you for your help!

They do not contain pork.

U.S. Products Made Without Pig (Porcine) Enzymes
Most cheese is made using enzymes as part of the process to develop unique flavors, and depending on the flavor, enzyme sources may include vegetable, microbial and/or animal. Pork enzymes may be used in the milk that makes the real cheese for some of our cheese seasonings.
Please note: The information provided pertains only to products made and distributed in the U.S. Products sold in other countries under similar brands may be made using slightly different recipes and ingredients to accommodate local needs and preferences.
For those in the U.S. choosing to restrict pork-related ingredients from their diet, the Frito-Lay products included here do not contain pork enzymes. Another guide that may be helpful is the list of Kosher products which may also be found on this website.

The enzymes used to make the cheese *may* be from pork.
"Isn't All Cheese Halal?
The production of cheese requires the use of enzymes to coagulate or curdle the milk and the addition of other ingredients for various functions. The enzymes can be derived from animal, vegetable, or microbial sources. The animal sources include pigs and cattle. The enzyme derived from pigs is called pepsin and is haram. Another enzyme derived from pigs or small cattle is lipase. (Lipase can also be made by microorganisms, which is halal.) "
I see nothing that indicates pork. Click the See Nutrition Label button from the link I've provided and see for yourself.
