I don't have a list with me but here's what I remember:

Replace:
1) Oil & Filter (Porsche recommends Mobil1 0W40)
2) Plugs (I recommend the plug o-rings too)
3) Fuel Filter
4) Cabin Filter
5) Air Filter
6) Serpentine Belt
7) Idler Rollers (It's not on the maintenance list, but they seem to wear out quickly and bearings can fly causing lots of trouble. All 3 rollers w/ bushings are about $150 at Sunset and easy to do when the serpentine belt is off. If you hear a vibration noise behind your seats, it's probably the idler rollers or alternator.)
8) Differential Oil (special triple-square socket is needed. I can get the size at home if you need it)
9) Brake Fluid (if it has not been changed in the past 2 years during brake changes, but personally I prefer annually)

Lubricate:
Top Joints
Clamshell Sliders & Joints

Check:
CV Boots
Water Hoses
Fuel Rails/Hoses
Air Hoses
Wheel Bearings & Ball Joints
