If using a single mic to record a vocal is it important to maintain absolute polarity? In other words, is there a downside to inverting the polarity of the vocal chain to get a better sound in the headphones? Is there a headphone amp that allows you to reverse the polarity of only the headphones?

Nope, you'll be ok. As long as it feels good for you.
This is actually one of the reasons why there is a polarity reverse switch on the first channel of the Langevin headphone system.
