Very common issue with older boxsters, the bushings on the horn frame have worn, a quick search of the forum turns up a couple previous discussions with helpful information:

Please HELP! Horn going off on its own
Horn doesn't stop Honkin...

Exclamation
I used to have an Audi that had that problem it was the wire in the steering wheel that was loose. At that time the air bags where not around so it was yanking the cover wheel from the steering wheel and reattaching correctly. It should nothing to repair but as with all Porsche repairs expect a bill that will defy logic and understanding.

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. I don't know what the fix is but I suggest you wave to the people next time it happens....they'll just think you're a nice guy.
