According to AllData, it is a 4.2 hour billable job for one side and 6.8 hour billable for both sides in the rear. The part lists for $71.88.

If it's not under warranty, I'd find a good local Porsche specialist instead of the dealer or DIY the job if you are interested in that. DIY is difficult unless you have the right tools. It requires a press to get it out and back in. Also, you have to heat the new bearing to 100C (???F) before putting it in.

For the alignment, even if it does not call for one I would do it anyway or at least watch the tire closely for a few hundred miles to make sure it's wearing ok.
