You're going to need the autopsy result.
Otherwise how do you know if this will require a rebuild or a whole engine transplant. Both options are expensive but that cost alone is unlikely to get you into something better unless you look at another brand or dig deeper into your wallet for something "better".
I doubt Porsche NA will do anything other than offer a discount on another engine minus labor.

How much did you pay for the car and how long have you had it? Did you replace the IMS bearing proactively?
Porsche recently settled a class action on this issue for 2001-2004 cars.
