I'd have to look at my manual to confirm recommendations, but some maintenance is contingent on either mileage or time: e.g., oil changes for15,000 km (about 10,000 miles) or each year, whichever comes first. As I recall the Serpentine belt was in fact part of the 60,000 mile service, not over and above it. Regardless, your owner's manual should let you know Porsche's recommendations.

As to alignment, unless you are showing unusual tire wear, it is completely unnecessary. Changing brake fluid may be a good idea as it does tend to deteriorate over time, but if your braking performance seems fine (no signs of fade, spongy pedal, etc.) then it isn't strictly necessary.
