The only porsche that seems overpriced is a base 911, heck you can get a gt3 before you can get a few options on a base 911. So yeah they are good value compared to other cars on the market and the price hikes simply match inflation perfectly, put in the base price for a 986 into an inflation calculator and you get pretty close to a 981 base price, and I'd argue the 981 comes better equipped from the factory.

Value is a very tough concept to gauge. It's different for everyone out there. Personally, I would never buy a Porsche new off the lot. It would stretch my budget just too much, putting pressure on my finances which would cramp my enjoyment of the ride. I would get better 'value' out of a high end Jetta for example. (now, if I ever win the lottery, look out!)
But I do see that Porsche's have the highest profit margins of all cars - that also tends to skew my opinion of their 'value' if buying new.
