Is there a way to make a standalone web application that runs in the tray or something like that using .Net and opens a port with a web server (embedded in the application) using either WebForms or MVC?

You can run ASP.NET applications using the Cassini web server sample. You can download the source code from http://blogs.msdn.com/dmitryr/archive/2005/09/27/474534.aspx
Cassini is only accessible from the local machine and was the basis for the development web server that comes with Visual Studio. You might want to consider what ports you run this on for users and if the user has overzealous firewall software etc.
