No, I was doubting it because I've seen mention of such a weight sensing airbag deactivation as far back as 2002. However, here someone reports such a system on a 2006 997S posted 7/29/2005:

I guess technology finally marches on. Hope it's more reliable than my false airbag light
P.S. Apparently, smart airbags are now a requirement for 2006 vehicles:

I guess Porsche announcement regarding the Carrera GT makes sense to me now. In August, Porsche said it would discontinue the Carrera GT because the NHTSA wouldn't grant a waiver on the the lack of smart airbags.
