I had a 300zx I did this for 8 years with (never have run out of gas but I stretch a tank of gas for what it is worth) and never had any problems (160k miles)...same with two other nissan vehicles I own. I do not push the boxster as far as the 300zx but the light does come on almost always before I refill it with gas. I have heard all the stories of the fuel pump cooling issues...I guess it is just a matter of being lucky or knowing how much you can get away with.
