Yes you should

get an alignment unless you want to wear out the new tires prematurely.

If you look at the alignment specs in your owner's manual, you'll notice that at least 2 of the settings have a range specified, not a fixed number. An expert at Porsche alignment will know the results of one edge of the range versus the other. One results in absolutely even wear, the other more grip for aggressive driving at the cost of additional inner edge wear. Since you chose A/S tires and you are from Texas, my guess is the more wear setting is the one you want your alignment to aim for as you didn't go for maximum summer grip tires but choose a more wear tire. And of course, watch the tire pressure.
