Does anyone know how to model a cam profile using given data's as polarcoordinates of roller follower centre, roller radius, minimum radius of cam in nx???

When is this new cam profile functionality going to be available?

It's not a 'cam profile' function per se, but rather a function which will allow you to sweep a solid body, like say a cylinder representing a cam roller, along a path the result being a solid body of the volume of space that the solid body swept-out. You would then delete that solid body from a cam 'blank' and you'd have your desired cam profile.
