starting stored boxster after cold storage

This has probably been asked before but I am looking for advice on starting my Boxster after a long cold Wisconsin storage.
I probably won't be doing anything with it until April but I am worried about the oil "settling" issue. I know this is not a traditional engine as us Americans are accustomed to but I need input.
On my old v8 Mustangs, I would take the coil wire off and turn the engine over to assure oil being pumped up into the valve train , cylinders and upper portion of engine prior to throwing the coil wire back on and actually firing it up. It just gave me peace of mind and with my personality and my "anal retentiveness" it went along way!
Now with this boxster engine and its low mileage of around 13,000 miles, are there any good suggestions or tricks that you guys do when first starting your engines after long cold weather storage? Any input would be pearls to me at this point since I would hate to do something stupid and ruin my engine.
Thanks everyone for their input
Jeff
