Most dual use street/track cars have both sets of seat belts installed - use the 3 pt on the street and the 6 pt on the track. If needed, create a blank clip to insert into the 3-pt latch to stop the binging of the seatbelt monitor when using the 6-pt.

No reason to use the GT-3 belts, consider a standard Schroth HANS 6 pt harness like the Profi III for ~$400 ea. (http://www.schrothracing.com/competition/profi/profi-III). This still isn't particulary cheap.

Unfortuately, the only easy place to attach the harness behind the seats in a stock Boxster is the horizontal portion of the roll hoop. This may not be perfect in terms of harness-shoulder alignment but its the only option available and is commonly used in Boxster BSX cars (dual street/track use).

The Brey-Krause rollbar extension mounts above the stock roll hoops so it will not help at all with a better harness attachement point. Creating a custom harness mount that has improved harness-shoulder geometry is up to you.
