Will a Porsche dealership be able to put 997 headlights, bumper, and fenders on my Boxster?

Just to clarify, what you're looking at is not a 997 front end; it's a later model 996 front end. I'm not sure if I've seen the 997 front on a 986 attempted yet, but I'm pretty sure that would go beyond bolt-ons and OEM parts if it were possible.
That being said, if you mean the late 996 front end on a 986, then yes, it's possible and since you're needing new headlights and front bumper, you're probably halfway there. I think there are also a few other parts including the fenders and the headlight mounting locations that may or may not be damaged in your accident that will be needed. If you search, a couple guys on this board have done the conversion, and I think one posted a parts list. If I remember right it was NOT cheap, so you may be better off going with early model litronics and the GT2 front end that porsche986spyder has.
