Epilogue - Car is fine!
I meant to post sooner, but I forget stuff...
K so I got it to my local independent Porsche mechanic, and he agreed with the "Pull the fuse/relay and start it and let pressure go back up" type method several of you posted in this thread. The car started fine and he told me about the components down at the bottom of the engine that are usually bathed in oil when the normal amount of oil is in the car (I think he mentioned the tensioners). I did a short test drive initially and everything was normal, and will probably take it on the highway this weekend.
Thanks for all input, much appreciated!
