Let me see if I'm understanding this or not:
Because I have a '99 without egas I will need to get the control unit (kindly offered by Todd) and I will also need to acquire the cruise stalk for the steering column, but the wiring should already be in place (or not?). Does this mean that I if I get these two components they should plug right in to existing plugs/ports/wires and then all I would have to do is go down to the dealer to get the cruise "turned on"?

Almost - you also need the disconnect switches for the brake and clutch (assuming a manual), then you're good to go.
BTW, this should help flatten your learning curve:
OBD = On Board Diagnostics (OBDII on the Boxster),
OBC = On Board Computer,
DME = Digital Motor Electronics (ECU),
PST2 = Porsche Systems Tester #2,
PIWIS = Porsche Integrated Workshop Information System (really just a proprietary version of Bosch KTS650),
egas = Electromechanical throttle control - Drive-by-Wire - 2000MY+.
