ultimately, everything is doable except tires - pretty much impossible without cutting and flaring to get anything bigger than a 285 in the back. which means you can't really get the power down. and a mid-engined car doesn't telegraph oversteer like a front engine car, so you would be backwards a lot.
otherwise, the 3.6 x51 m96 is a 345 hp engine all day long and ran fine in the 996 and well within brake specs - same as what came in the boxster s. the 996 transmission was pretty much the same as what came in the 986s as were the axle flanges iirc.
for options, search the forum - i think you hit all the main contenders; there is a guy who just fit an audi tt 4 cyl turbo, and wizardsmokey is hinting at a proposed swap (my bet is maserati 4.2 v8 ...).
expect packaging and physical connection to be relatively easy, and electronics hard.
