Welcome, I'm a relative newb here as we'll. I bought my first P-car last summer (02 S).
Here's my take....
I submit that you may or may not have an issue with your brakes. While modern Porsches do have all of the "electronic nanny" options of other makes, they are as unobtrusive as possible by design. ABS is a great invention, but a car with the brakes held steadily at the point just before lock up will stop faster and maintain it's stability in a lateral G breaking maneuver than the same car with the brakes in pulsating ABS mode. I believe that this has been engineered into the car intentionally. In a true sports car, the only time ABS should intervene in a braking maneuver is when the driver is too panicked to properly modulate the peddle. I have to believe Porsche designed the complete system to allow the driver to get deep into the breaking threshold before electronic intervention. I believe that PSM is designed in the same vein (though personally, I'm glad to have found car without PSM).
As to initial bite, this could be a hardware issue, or it could be a matter of what you're used to (especially if you ride modern sport/touring bikes). Either way, a brake fluid flush is solid advice for the mileage, unless you no it was recently done.
