To join a National Guard unit in a state other than yours, there generally has to be a reason. If you have an occupation which isn't available in your state (or for which no slots are open), that can be considered justification. If you live on a state line, and the nearest unit is in the neighbouring state, that can be considered justification.
You may have to go to a bit of an extreme. I lived in North Carolina and wanted to join the Virginia (Army) National Guard. I ended up having to rent a P.O. Box in Fredericksburg and getting a Virginia drivers licence.
Ultimately, however, it really comes down to that unit's willingness to accept you. The best thing you can do is call whatever unit it is you want to join, and get their take on it.

If you are a member of the Air National Guard, you do not have to be permanently stationed anywhere.

Although, you can still be deployed if they require you to, but once your tour of duty is up, you return home to your national guard unit.
