When I shift from 1st to 2nd at a higher rpm, like 3 or 4k, I get a bit more of the car engaging not smoothly. Is this because I have to give more gas to match the rpms when it is 3k +? I'd guess that around 2k I need to give it less gas as I disengage the clutch.
Also, is it normal for there to be slightly more resistance on the shift from 1st to 2nd as opposed to 2nd to 3rd?

You are doing nothing wrong.
It shouldn't be any difference between the RPM's, when all is right.
I had a similar issue, that I hope it will be solved.
I'm in the process of replacing the clutch, and did also the front engine mount.
I truly hope it will solve it.
The boxster is not the best car as a first manual, but could be you just need a new engine mount.
How many miles do you have on your car, and is it base or S?
