Yes the tires will flat spot, but when put back into service they will shake off the flat spots in about 5 min. of driving.

Jacking the car up and letting the suspension hang is not a good thing. Porsche released a TSB on this years ago, warning that doing so could lead to damaged struts from corrosion on the shafts.
