Rattle at Start-Up

I've read through I don't know how much info on the net about this, but there doesn't seem to be a common consensus regarding what, if any action, to take.

My '98 Boxster has around 36K original miles, and has been obsessively maintained by both the prior owner and myself. The car can sit in the garage for 2-3 weeks at times, and I do get the rattle on initial startup, but not a peep thereafter. I assume this is the tensioners losing their "prime".

So, is this something that needs addressing, or is it normal for a car that can sit for extended periods?
