Zombie Pigmen attack on the basis of 'seeing is believing', meaning that they only become hostile when they see one of their own being attacked by you. Once this happens, all Zombie Pigmen within a certain radius (32 blocks) become hostile, and will charge at you if they are within range. Zombie Pigmen will also notice attacks through walls.

once made hostile they stay hostile for a certain period. the parameters surrounding pigmen behaviour changed with the latest patch i believe. refer to the minecraft website for specifics.

Also don't hold carrots when you walk near them... I learned out the hard way by walking past them with carrots when I first entered the nether and got pushed into lava and lost my valuables

I think that if someone hits a pigman, and you come into the nether a few minutes later, they start attacking you. I'm not sure, but I think that's right.
