My guess would be no because the widths would be different, eliminating the hood and bumper right off the bat. Compare 986 & 987 widths to give you an idea. You might want to look for 987 conversion kits for 986s, as that would probably be a cheaper way to go. There were several conversion kits out there when the 987s were first introduced. Not sure if they're still in business but they'd be happy to sell you a kit. However, it will probably be a fiberglass bumper cover.

Back in the day, lots of Boxster owners paid to have their fronts converted to the 996 TT front. It wasn't just a bolt on conversion, but required less surgery than trying to fit 987 parts and eliminated the scrambled eggs headlights.
