That sounds expensive, but if its a Porsche water pump, Porsche belt, and Porsche coolant, that price is not unreasonable. You may be able to get it done for about 1/2 that cost with inferior parts, your choice. It can be a dirty/wet job to DIY, but is not overly difficult.
Consider:
-Running the car with a failing water pump can quickly damage the engine (A search of the subject will reveal several horrors).
-Mixing Porsche coolant with brand X can lead to the equivalent of strawberry flavored Jello throughout your cooling system (Make sure that the shop is flushing the system for that price).
-A great opportunity to have a 160 degree thermostat installed in your car (More efficient cooling and little additional labor).
