I guess almost anything carwise is feasible if you throw enough money at it. As bmussatti pointed out, the RUF site is a good place to check out. Here's how RUF divides out their conversions:

One thing I notice is all of the conversions mentioned by RUF is for e-gas. MNBoxster has pointed out that it's no small task to go non e-gas to e-gas. So for pre-2000 Boxsters, it makes "sense" to go with a cable throttle body 3.4L.
I spoken with RUF in the past and they are quite helpful. They could probably point out why they put the 3.4, 3.6 and 3.8 in the model year Boxster that they do. You could search this site also. I know that engine conversions have been discussed.
