In a small pot, combine the pork, water, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover tightly and simmer for 90 minutes. Check at 45 and 70 minutes, adding a splash of water if the pot looks dry. Done when shreds easily with a fork, 160°F.
While the pork simmers, whisk the yogurt, vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Toss in the cabbage and carrots until coated. Let the slaw sit for at least 15 minutes to soften.
Remove the pork from the pot and shred with two forks. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid and discard the rest. Return the pork and the reserved liquid to the pot, then stir in the barbecue sauce. Simmer over medium heat for 3 minutes until glossy.
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the buns for 2 minutes until golden brown. Pile the pork onto the bottom bun, top with the slaw, and close the sandwich.
