There are two that meet the specs put out by Porsche, but Porsche does not "approve" of them. Then again, if I were selling a $8 bottle of coolant for $50, I wouldn't approve either.

Havoline® DEX-COOL® Extended Life Anti-Freeze/Coolant
Chevron DEX-COOL® Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant

Here's a link to a discussion on the topic:
Alternate Coolant for Porsche

If you change to anything other than the original Porsche coolant, you should do a complete flush of the system first to avoid bad chemical reactions between different coolants.
