They both most certainly are OBD-II compliant; I think all US market cars since '95 (not sure about the year) have to be. As for Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB as above) compliant, I'm not so sure....
I don't know who if anyone sells the software you'd need to interface with your Porsche, a company called Ross-Tech makes the excellent program for all VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda cars. For the 987, you'd probably also need an interface (the cable) that works with a CAN setup (CAN="Controller Area Network", I think?) That's the new communications mode a lot of new cars use, and I'm assuming Porsche does, too.
