Because of the Boxster's engine design it will have a small minor amount of oil that comes out of the exhaust. It is not unusual,but the question is how dark is your exhuast smoke? Mine does it during the morning when I first start it up but not later in the day.
This is from www.986faq.com
"The Boxster engine uses a flat six cylinder design. Because of this construction, oil residue remains under the piston heads and burns off at every start up. This can produce a white puff of smoke. It should only lasts a few seconds. This is normal, and no correction is necessary."
