tires skipping during hard acceleration with psm off

What you are experiencing is called axle tramp. It is common on cars with independent suspension.
A Boxster is not a drag racing car and the suspension is not configured for tire spinning starts.

+1 and it's very hard on your drivetrain. The impact of the little jumps in traction can break joints and gears. It's very common on Porsches in general from what I understand.

Yes. Wheel hop/axle tramp are one of the best ways to murder your transmission (ask me how I know. A gentle right foot that can ride that fine line between max acceleration and spinning the inside wheel is to be found on a very skilled driver indeed.
