Won't happen, sales for the 911 aren't that great anyway so sales for a hybrid 911 would not be worth it.
But sales for a soccor mom Cayenne are good so intro to a hybrid Cayenne would be good for that market segment.

edit: also any 911 lover would hate Porsche if anything other than a flat boxer engine is used. It would cost too much to develope a hybrid flat engine that would fit into the 997 or next 911 model. Heck, even the talks of a flat 8 were opposed cause it would make the rear end even longer.
