I will go with Idle pulley, i had the same noise at start up and shortly after I started hearing the noise my pulley went.

I would say check it out and change the belt.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.

I stopped my squealing noise by replacing the starter. Got a used one off of eBay for 65$. Two of my neighbors even noticed that the Boxster had stopped making that strange noise.
Fairly easy DIY. It took me about 2 hours.
