Thank you, I'm hoping this is the case. I had talked to a few shops that deal with Porsche's and they all said from my photos and description they said probably 10-15k to repair. But I think with new aftermarket parts with bushings and used parts that are just metal it can be done at home.
The front wheels also jumped up the curb but there doesn't seem to be any damage except for some plastics and the rims will need to be repaired. The rear rim/tire needs to be replaced.
I've been researching all the parts needed so far, and yes it doesn't look too bad.
I'm not a mechanic and don't know how comfortable doing this work by myself. Only thing I've really done is changed control arm bushings on an old BMW many years ago. I've been talking to some mobile mechanics that may be able to assist.

Subframe upright can be found for $100 on ebay. Axle is easy to find used, then just repack with grease and new boots.
Get a long track rod (caster arm) from TRW for like $1xx.
Just to be safe, get a new coffin arm (meyle) and toe link (trw i think)
Unless there is actual frame damage, I'd say you can fix this easily.
The stub axle to the tranny just needs a new c clip and be reinstalled.
