If you are really going to set the nameserver on your computer, and set up port 53 as pat fairbank said, then you can, that is what a dns server does.
But do not forget, you need two nameservers, you cannot just use one ip address, it is required that you have two.

If you just have the nameservers set as your ip address(es), then that is all you would need.
When anyone accessed your website, it would look for the nameserver (your ip address) go to your nameserver and ask your nameserver what ip address to go to. It would then contact your ip address again, on port 80 (by default), and reguest the page, your server would then respond with your current page.
