Very good question, something I wonder about too. I have a very early 1997 example in the UK that has very probably spent a good deal of its life living in our ghastly, rust-tastic conditions. And as far as I am aware, there's no rust at all. Moreover, I have never seen a rusty Boxster.
There are plenty of much younger cars that are getting very rusty now. Say what you want about the quality of the water-cooled generation, but it would appear the steel quality and rust proofing of 986s is absolutely top notch.
That said, as the poster mentioned above, I have heard of a few reports of them rusting through just below the side air intake. Never seen this, but like I said, have heard of it.
