I've looked into this quite a bit. I have a Greddy oil catch can that was left over from a modded Subaru WRX that I used to own. I've looked and looked and measured and it will NOT fit anywhere reasonable in the Boxster engine compartment with the AOS in place. I had planned to install it after the AOS and before it vents into the intake. So this would basically be a backup if the AOS fails. The Greddy unit has a little sight glass type of tube on the side, so you will get a visible indication if oil is building up in it (as when the AOS fails).
The best mounting location that I found was in the rear trunk right next to the coolant reservoir/tank. Located there you would need to drill two holes in the rear trunk fire wall - one for the tube coming in and one going out to the intake right after the throttle body. Porsche uses some "special" tubes for the AOS and intake with funky connectors, but I think you can work around that with some hose clamps and regular tubing/hose.
In the end though I'm going to drop this project. I just bought a 914 that could use a catch can, so I'm going to put my old unit into service there as mounting and room in the engine compartment is a null issue. I'll just take my chances with the Boxster AOS for now...
