It could be a couple of things; the M96 is used in multiple configurations, so it could be a mounting boss for something not use when in a Boxster. A lot of casting bosses on these engines are used as anchor or alignment points during initial machining operations in the factory, and not used again.

Considering its location so close to the factory pulley, it probably is not used when the engine is actually in the car.
