I think some of the very well-known pornstars or even those slight few very popular camgirls could put something together where they took donations to raise money and shot a custom scene. I don't doubt that they could raise a decent amount of money and then shoot that scene for those who funded it. They could even use that scene to further promote themselves. However, I think it would likely be a one time thing. It is hard to get the fans of pornstars to pay $30 per month to join their site much less get them to pay for a single scene that they then have to wait potentially weeks for it to be shot and edited together. People might be willing to go there once, but likely not more than that.

there is a huge difference between a guy like Louis C.K and a pornstar. Louis (or any number of well-known comics) puts together an act and then releases it like this. He then hits the road and does a bunch of dates promoting it and getting paid for those stand up dates. He likely will eventually sell the broadcast rights to some cable channel(s) and he likely will release it on DVD or at the least license it to Netflix for streaming.

A pornstar would shoot their scene, give it to the fans that paid for it then maybe put it up on their site or offer it for sale on its own. There are limited markets and you can bet your ass they aren't going to have her on CNN, The View and a ton of radio and talk shows talking about it. So here ability to make money from it would be limited and she would need to make another very quickly and I have the feeling the crowdfunding market would dry up pretty quickly.
