Thanks for the replies.

The dealer probably wouldn't have been willing to install the discount-priced belt I had. So, I'll tell my brother I saved $250. I already had a 24mm socket, so I didn't have to buy any tools.

This is a relatively simple job if anyone else is considering it. jbs986 was a little quicker than me - I always triple-check everything I do on the Boxster. But I think a skilled and confident DIYer could do the job in 15 minutes.

Now I'm building up my nerve to replace the spark plugs and the O rings on the spark plug tubes. I already replaced a coil pack, so I have the basic procedure for accessing the spark plugs in my repertoire.
