My team has a boss rush I made a while back in a different set of tooling to what we use today, we were planning to port it and polish it up since it never got finished. Would this disqualify us since we already have the design elements done? (We'd be open to leaving the source repository public as evidence of the code being authored fresh during the jam window). If it does disqualify us from prizes, are we still fine to submit just for the momentum gain of being part of a jam?

Hey there! Thanks for asking.
A port is against the spirit of a game jam.
Submitting a pre-existing game would result in a disqualification, even if said game was rebuilt from the ground up.
Just to be safe, could you clarify what you mean by this post? How much of your submitted game would be “ported” from the old one?
OR are you just looking for permission to use existing assets?
Hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions.
