I sure wouldn't go to all the trouble of digging the deep post holes a pole barn needs and then put untreated pine in them. When I was a kid, we tried a few pine fence posts made from Ponderosa Pine trunks that grew on our ranch. Untreated, they often rotted and fell over in 3 or 4 years. Soaked in crankcase oil with some Penta, they might last about 10 years. Some of our treated Cedar posts are still holding up fences more than 40 years later, and the part down in the ground still is pretty sound.
